Abstract
The specificity of the immune response and its biologic compatibility with the normal tissues of the host are responsible for its great appeal to clinical scientists as a therapeutic intervention in patients with early or minimal residual cancer. Because carcinoma of the bronchus appears to be a carcinogen-induced cancer and because carcinogen-induced cancers are frequently, at least minimally immunogenic, this tumor seems a reasonably logical target for immunotherapeutic attack.
