[The effect of immunotherapy and hyperthermia for advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer - 74 clinical cases].
2014
: We treated 74 patients with advanced or recurrent head and neck cancer using hyperthermia and/or immunotherapy between July 2005 and November 2013. Standard therapy showed no effect or was refused by these patients. Fifteen(21.4%) patients experienced a clinical benefit(complete response[CR], partial response[PR], and long-term stable disease[SD], >6 months), including 4 CR cases. Hyperthermia alone was effective for one patient only. A combination of dendritic cell therapy and hyperthermia was beneficial for the remaining 14 patients. One patient was effectively treated with cetuximab, and γδ lymphocytes and dendritic cell therapy.
