Recurrences of Superficial Bladder Carcinoma are Associated with a Raise of CD8high>CD57+ and CD8low T Lymphocytes in Peripheral Blood

Abstract: Immunotherapy with BCG is effective in patients with recurrent superficial bladder carcinoma. This therapy involves Interleukin-2 (IL-2), but little is known about the immunological parameters involved in superficial bladder carcinoma. We have monitored immunological parameters in twenty patients with superficial bladder carcinoma treated with transurethral resection (TUR) followed by IL-2 instillation. Cell numbers of peripheral blood leukocyte subpopulations were counted before surgery and during follow-up a… Show more

“…On the other hand, Jacobs et al (29) found a significant increase in the number of peripheral blood CD8+ lymphocytes in patients with recurrent NMIBC. They hypothesized that these peripheral immune suppressive cells facilitated tumor recurrences or that tumor recurrences caused an increase in the peripheral immunosuppressive lymphocytes (29). …”
