Abstract
Spontaneous remission of renal cell carcinoma is a rare occurrence for which immunological factors have been implicated as a possible mechanism. We report a case of spontaneous remission of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in which we assayed various immune parameters. At remission we found no enhancement of natural killer cell, lymphokine-activated killer cell or lymphocyte proliferative response.
