Study of DC-CIK Combined With Chemotherapy for Advanced Solid Tumor

Overview

Combinations of Dendritic cell-activated cytokine-induced killer cell (DC-CIK) With chemotherapy treatment may enhance the immune response and stop cancer cells from growing.

Description

Patients in group A will receive 4 cycles of DC-CIK treatments within 8 months. Patients in group B will have no immunotherapy. Chemotherapy are available in both groups.The investigators want to evaluate the efficacy of combination of DC-CIK with chemotherapy in patients with treatment-refractory solid tumors.

6. Without any other malignant disease;
7. With more than one scalable lesions;
8. Patients Voluntary attempt, and informed consent;
9. Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test because of the potentially dangerous effects of the preparative chemotherapy on the fetus.
