title: [Adoptive immunotherapy with LAK cell and IL-2 against primary lung cancer].
abstract: Adoptive immunotherapy using LAK cells and IL-2 was performed against stage III and IV primary lung cancer patients after surgery. A randomized controlled study consisting of control group A, chemotherapy (CDDP + VDS) group B and chemo-immunotherapy (CDDP+VDS, IL2+LAK cells) group C suggested better survival rate in the group C. Direct effects were studied against 8 recurrent or inoperable lung cancer cases. Complete response was obtained against a pleuritis and pericarditis carcinomatosa case when in vitro stimulated LAK cells (St-LAK) were administered locally. Partial response was observed against a inoperable case when LAK-BAI (bronchial arterial infusion) was combined with radiation therapy.
