The in vitro uptake of I131 labelled 1-triiodothyronine (T-3) by erythrocytes of 200 tumor clinic patients and 35 control subjects was studied. Breast, gastrointestinal, and hematologic cancer patients had T-3 uptakes significantly lower than normal. Patients with cancer of the larynx, hypopharynx, and oral cavity, and basal and squamous cell cancers of the face had T-3 uptakes not significantly different from the normal controls.
