To evaluate effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on immunologic function in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor (GIMT). Before and 3 weeks after surgical treatment and administration of rhGH, the amount of T lymphocyte subset (T-LS) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) level were measured in 12 patients with GIMT, which were compared with 20 cases of normal control and 18 cases of GIMT treated by surgery alone. Result: ①In all GIMT patients, the serum CD+3, CD+4 level and the ratio of CD+4/CD+8 were lower than normal control and the sIL2R level was much higher; ②After operation, the serum CD+3, CD+4 level and the ratio of CD+4/CD+8 of all patients increased, the serum sIL2R level decreased; ③In patients recieved rhGH, the serum CD+3, CD+4 level and the ratio of CD+4/CD+8 were much more increased and the serum sIL-2R level much more decreased than those of surgery alone group. Conclusion: rhGH can enhance the immunologic function of patients with GIMT.
