Clinical studies have indicated a close relationship between immunological competency and the growth of human cancer. Studies in animal systems have indicated that immunological mechanisms are important in host-tumor existence. A number of agents are in the process of being evaluated for their immunotherapeutic potential in patients with cancer. These include levamisole, bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) and Corynebacterium parvum. While the precise role of these agents in the treatment of human malignancy remains to be clearly defined, they do appear to be useful as adjuncts to other forms of cancer therapy such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgical operation.
临床研究表明免疫能力与人类癌症的发展之间存在密切关系。对动物系统的研究表明，免疫机制在宿主与肿瘤的生存关系中很重要。目前正在对多种药物进行评估，以确定它们对癌症患者的免疫治疗潜力。这些药物包括左旋咪唑、卡介苗（BCG）和短小棒状杆菌。虽然这些药物在治疗人类恶性肿瘤中的确切作用仍有待明确界定，但它们作为放射治疗、化学疗法和外科手术等其他癌症治疗形式的辅助手段似乎很有用。
