Abstract:
WT1-pulsed dendritic cell (WT1-DC) therapy was performed for end-stage squamous cell lung cancer that rapidly worsened soon after completion of carboplatin and paclitaxel. A rapid improvement in immune profile was observed with the initiation of WT1-DC. Docetaxel and ramucirumab were initiated as second-line agents during WT1-DC. The improvement of the immune profile status continued, and at the same time, the cancer showed a predominant shrinkage. Progression-free survival was over 577 days, and the patient was able to lead a normal daily life with a performance status of 1. These findings suggest that WT1-DC improves the immune profile, and this may contribute to the long-lasting and sustained effect of chemotherapy.
