No difference in delayed hypersensitivity between breast and cervical carcinomas

Neoplasma. 1984;31(1):95-8.

Abstract

DNCB and PPD skin testing was performed in 130 breast and 110 cervical cancer patients. BATES' instruction with a plea for uniformity was used [1]. Patients were tested while being diagnosed and prior to the treatment. No significant differences either in the frequency of a reactivity or grade of response in corresponding stages of breast and cervical cancer were found.
