A method is described for sampling of peripheral lymph in man. A peripheral lymphatic of the
leg has been cannulated in 59 patients with various malignancies, most of whom had

were from the early period. The cannulation could be maintained for many days. The mean

cells/hour. Differential counts revealed 70-96 per cent lymphocytes. The method is …
