Abstract
Six patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck were treated with injection of interleukin-2 (IL-2) around the metastatic cervical lymphnodes. Lymphokine activated killer (LAK) activity in peripheral blood in administration of IL-2 showed a significant high of 13.2% at effector/target (E/T) ratio 13 compared with non-administration of IL-2 showed 4.3%. LAK activity in cervical non-metastatic lymphnodes in 6 cases of administration of IL-2 showed a significant high of 23.0% at E/T ratio 50 compared with 3 cases of non-administration of IL-2 which showed 3.7%. In the 2 evaluable courses given in patients a partial response was obtained in one case.
