Natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in immune surveillance against malignant diseases. Considering the lymphoid origin of malignant lymphomas, as well as scarce data concerning NK-cell function in these neoplasms, we evaluated NK-cell activity in 49 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) and 47 patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD), prior to therapy. Using the recommended International Working Formulation and the Ann Arbor staging system for classification of lymphomas we found, by the LDH release cytotoxicity assay, that decreased NK-cell activity (P
