Abstract
Authors reconsider the present state of knowledge about immunology of laryngeal cancer. Authors, besides, analyse, in a critical way, problems concerning immunological monitoring of patients bearing solid carcinomas. They conclude that, up to date, it is impossible to have a biological test which can concretely show the patient's immune state.
