[Secondary immunological response to cryosurgery in various stages of oral cavity neoplasms].

The authors have evaluated general immunocompetence after cryosurgical treatment of 33 patients affected by oral squamous carcinoma. Patients have been divided into two groups: 17 of them were classifiable in 1st and 2nd stage and 16 of them in 3rd and 4th stages. Serum immunoglobulin levels, C3 - C4, peripheral lymphocytes, E-rosette forming cells, lymphocyte response to PHA were analyzed before a single cryotreatment 7 and 14 days after. The results indicate that immunological parameters vary in a significant way and can be constantly observed in 1st and 2nd stages, while the 3rd and 4th stages undergo no variations. Cryosurgery in the 1st and 2nd stages is able to modify, in particular, the parameters concerning cell - mediate immunity, although the phenomenon seems transitory, showing itself most on the seventh day.

[Evaluation of serum BuChe activity during polychemotherapy based on COP and C-MOPP protocols].

The Authors have evaluated the serum cholinesterase activity in patients subjected to 2 different schemes of polychemotherapy: COP (CTX, VCR, Prednisone) and C-MOPP (CTX, VCR, PCZ, Prednisone). The two schemes involve the administration of cyclophosphamide that, as has already been proved, significantly lowers serum cholinesterase level after only a few hours. The Authors have observed that the combination of cyclophosphamide with other antiblastic drugs or a longer treatment have little influence on the down curve of the serum cholinesterase in relation to what they have observed after treatment with cyclophosphamide alone.
