Lymphocyte subsets in lung cancer.

L J Wesselius, D L Wheaton, L J Manahan-Wahl

    Chest
    |May 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Lung cancer patients often show immune system changes, particularly reduced T-helper and T-suppressor cells. This decrease is most significant in advanced lung cancer and those with low albumin levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Cellular immune dysfunction is observed in lung cancer patients.
    • This includes reduced lymphocyte counts and altered functional subsets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify lymphocyte subsets in patients with different stages of lung cancer.
    • To compare these subsets with smokers and investigate the impact of hypoalbuminemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantification of lymphocyte subsets (T-helper, T-suppressor, B-lymphocytes) in 54 lung cancer patients.
    • Categorization by cancer type (NSCLC stages 1-3, SCLC) and albumin levels.
    • Comparison with healthy non-smokers and a smoking cohort.

    Main Results:

    • Patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showed significantly decreased T-helper and T-suppressor cells.
    • Lung cancer patients with hypoalbuminemia exhibited the most pronounced reduction in T-helper cells.
    • B-lymphocyte counts were also reduced in advanced NSCLC and hypoalbuminemic patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Decreased T-lymphocyte subsets are common in SCLC, advanced NSCLC, and lung cancer patients with hypoalbuminemia.
    • Hypoalbuminemia exacerbates T-lymphocyte subset reduction in lung cancer.
    • These findings highlight immune alterations in lung cancer progression and severity.
