      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. Pleural and ascitic fluids associated with malignant neoplasms have been studied in an effort to clarify the mechanisms involved in intracavitary radiogold therapy. Following treatment, malignant cells persist in a significant proportion of cases.
      • 2.
        2. The inflammatory cellular response to the injection of the radioactive gold is quite variable.
      • 3.
        3. Phagocytes containing gold pigment are found with regularity at various intervals following therapy, being seen as early as one day and usually present during the first four to five weeks after treatment. Subsequently, they are infrequently found.
