  • Title: Immunologic reactivity of lymph nodes regional to prostatic cancer: preliminary observations.
    Author: Herr HW.
    Journal: J Surg Oncol; 1977; 9(5):509-16. PubMed ID: 304125.
    Abstract:
    Regional pelvic lymph nodes from 9 patients with prostatic carcinoma were investigated for in vitro immunologic reactivity to T and B cell mitogens. Regional lymph node lymphocytes were significantly more reactive when obtained from nodes morphologically displaying T and B lymphocyte hyperplasia than from nodes that histologically appeared normal or depleted the lymphocytes. The data suggest that a morphologic evaluation of lymph nodes regional to prostate cancer may reflect the patient's antitumor immune response.
