Abstract
In the last decade, many reports have attested to the clinical benefits of immunotherapy in the treatment of malignant diseases. Extensive reviews of these publications have recently appeared (6, 12). Although experimental evidence regarding the mechanism of action of BCG and/or inactivated tumor cells on animal immune systems is abundant (7, 8, 11, 13, 15), consistent data in humans is still scanty.
