Abstract:
Objective:To explore the curative effect and safety of autologous tumor antigen loaded dendritic cells combined with cytokine-induced killer (DC-CIK) cells in the treatment of patients with gastric cancer. Methods: Two hundred seventy patients who received operative resection of gastric cancer in Fujian Provincial Cancer Hospital during January, 2005 to January, 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Acording to wether receiving DC-CIK therapy, the patients were divided into DC-CIK treatment group (120 cases) and control group (150 cases). Flow cytometry assay was used to analyze phenotype of DC-CIK cells. Overall survival (OS) between both groups was compared. Advers reactions of the DC-CIK therapy were observed. And prognostic factors of the gastric cancer were analyzed by Cox regression model. Results: In the mature DC, the percentages of HLA-DR+, CD8+, CD83+ and CD86+ cells were(96.16±151)%, (96.58±2.66)%, (96.44±2.20)%, and (98.74±0.76)% respectively. In CIK cells. the proportions of CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+ and CD3+CD16+/CD56+ cells were (91.98±5.9)%,(25.19±10.5)%,(71.15±7.8)% and (18.73±7.4)% respectively. The median OS was 77 months in the DC-CIK treatment group and compared to OS median of 51 months in the control group, the difference was significant (χ2=4.431,P<0.05). DC-CIK therapy, adjuvant chemotherapy and TNM stage are independent prognostic factors for gastric cancer. Common adverse reactions are fever, chill and weakness in the DC-CIK therapy. Conclusion: Autologous tumor antigen-loaded DC-CIK therapy could prolong OS of patients with gastric cancer after operation of gastric cancer, and have little adverse reactions as well as be safety and effective.
