Preferred Label : monitoring, immunologic;
MeSH definition : Testing of immune status in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer, immunoproliferative
and immunodeficiency disorders, and autoimmune abnormalities. Changes in immune parameters
are of special significance before, during and following organ transplantation. Strategies
include measurement of tumor antigen and other markers (often by RADIOIMMUNOASSAY),
studies of cellular or humoral immunity in cancer etiology, IMMUNOTHERAPY trials,
etc.;
