Autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine suppressed re-recurrence of HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma following 29 unsuccessful treatments with extensive conventional therapy: a case report
Treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine after primary resection has been shown to suppress the recurrence of hepatitis B virus-associated HCC, but the effect of this treatment on hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related disease has not yet been clarified. Here, we report a case of a patient with repeat recurrent HCC that was associated with HCV who had en...
متن کاملPhase II randomized trial of autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine for postsurgical recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
PURPOSE We conducted a Phase II clinical trial with randomized patients to determine whether autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV) protects against postsurgical recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Forty-one patients with HCC who had undergone curative resection were randomly allocated to the vaccine treatment (n = 19) or no adjuvant control group (n = 22...
متن کاملSuppression of postsurgical recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine, with special reference to glypican-3
Autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV) suppressed re-recurrence for more than 32 months of multiple-recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma based on hepatitis C virus-induced liver cirrhosis in a case with previous recurrence interval, 51-, 28-, 12-, and 4-months. We detected glypican-3-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood at 12 months after AFTV.
متن کاملRecurrent peritoneal serous carcinoma that was unmanageable with paclitaxel–carboplatin therapy responded to autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine
Paclitaxel-carboplatin therapy (TC) usually controls primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) but not recurrent disease. In this case, PPSC recurred after three courses of TC, responded dramatically to additional autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV), and resulted in prolonged, progression-free survival without visible lesions detected by positron emission tomography-computed tomogra...
متن کاملPathological changes after autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine therapy combined with temozolomide for glioblastoma - three case reports - .
Temozolomide (TMZ), an alkylating agent widely used for patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), has the potential to enhance the acquired immune response to GBM. Here, we describe 3 cases of GBM patients treated with autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV) combined with TMZ. All cases demonstrated pathological changes associated with the therapy. After a 4-week break from the standa...
