[Strategy of treatment for pancreatic and biliary cancer with special reference to immunotherapy]

A new therapeutic strategy for pancreatic and biliary cancer is needed because of its poor prognosis. We presented the results of adoptive immunotherapy using induced cytotoxic T-cells for pancreatic and biliary cancer as well as extracorporal extended right hepatectomy with resection of the inferior caval vein for intrahepatic biliary cancer. We expect that these new strategies may contribute to prognostic improvement of pancreatic and biliary cancer.
