    Abstract:
    In 40 patients with carcinoma of the larynx transformation of lymphocytes under the influence of PHA was studied. In 20 patients, in addition, venous blood flowing from the tumor, collected during the operation was also examined. In 33 patients the index of blastic transformation was lowered as compared with that in the control group. In 15 of 20 patients, the lymphocytes of venous blood from the vicinity of the tumor showed significantly higher indices of blastic transformation in comparision with those from peripheral blood. It was assumed that difference was due to an increased participation of T-lymphocytes in venous blood flowing from the tumor area. T-lymphocytes might move into the blood from the lymphoid infiltrates which accompany the neoplastic tissue.
