Circulating immune complexes are detectable in the patients with carcinomas of the head and neck, stomach, rectum, external genitals, lungs, with Hodgkin's disease, and melanomas. Immunoglobulin levels are abnormal in all the aforementioned conditions. The levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM differ in the patients with high and normal content of immune complexes. IgG elevation is more manifest in the presence of immune complexes. In pulmonary carcinoma, cancer of the head and neck, and Hodgkin's disease the concentrations of immune complexes and IgG correlate. Relationships between the rest immunoglobulin classes and the immune complexes are not so well specified.
