Thirteen patients with recurrent glioblastoma were treated with adoptively transferred autologous lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells and recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2). Patients' blood mononuclear cells (MNC) obtained by leukapheresis were cultured at 2.5 million MNC per ml for 3 to 5 days i
In a significant proportion of patients with gastrointestinal and ovarian malignancy the peritoneal cavity is a prominent site at which surgical treatment fails. Adjuvant treatments directed at this site should be investigated in an attempt to improve survival in patients with these cancers. In the
Natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell activity were determined in three groups (newly diagnosed [n = 211, on therapy [n = 211, and off therapy [n = 181) of children with various types of malignant solid tumors and in a control group (n = 26) by means of Leu-7 and Leu-llb monoclonal antibodies and a
Background. Treatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK) resulted in responses in some patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the relative therapeutic benefit of the addition of LAK to IL-2 was unknown. Methods. A randomized Phase I11 trial wa
