Immune evaluation with skin tests in prostatic carcinoma.

A T Lachand, C Martin-Mondières

    European Urology
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study investigated immune competence in 61 patients with prostate cancer using recall antigen skin tests. Results indicate lower immune competence in patients with metastatic disease, suggesting short-term prognostic value.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Cellular Immunity

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer patients often exhibit altered immune function.
    • Assessing immune competence is crucial for understanding disease progression and prognosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate nonspecific secondary cell-mediated immunity in patients with prostate carcinoma.
    • To determine the relationship between immune competence and metastatic disease status.
    • To assess the prognostic value of skin tests in prostate cancer patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Intradermal injection of three recall antigens.
    • Study involved 61 patients diagnosed with prostate carcinoma.
    • Evaluation of immune responses through skin testing.

    Main Results:

    • Immune competence was found to be significantly lower in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
    • Skin test results demonstrated a short-term prognostic value for disease progression.
    • Nonspecific secondary cell-mediated immunity was impaired in advanced stages.

    Conclusions:

    • Immune competence is compromised in patients with metastatic prostate carcinoma.
    • Recall antigen skin tests can serve as a short-term prognostic indicator in prostate cancer management.
    • Further research into immune modulation strategies for prostate cancer is warranted.
