Abstract
A double-blind evaluation of the Makari intradermal test has been carried out over a 3 year period. The test is based upon the measurement of the local erythematous reactions of the skin to a series of intradermal injections of cancer-derived antigens which have been preincubated with the patient's serum. These antigens have been prepared from human tumour material by the application of major physical and chemical degradative procedures. The patients examined consisted of 584 patients referred to King's College Hospital, the majority of whom had signs and symptoms which suggested the presence of malignant disease.
