Observations on the Systemic Administration of Autologous Lymphokine-Activated Killer Cells and Recombinant Interleukin-2 to Patients with Metastatic Cancer

TL;DR: Preliminary results of the systemic administration of autologous lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells and the recombinant-derived lymphokin interleukin-2 to patients with advanced cancer are described, based on animal models in which this regimen mediated the regression of established pulmonary and hepatic metastases from a variety of murine tumors in several strains of mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Dose Recombinant Interleukin 2 in the Treatment of Patients With Disseminated Cancer: Responses, Treatment-Related Morbidity, and Histologic Findings

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the administration of IL-2 can mediate the regression of established cancer in some patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engagement of the OX-40 Receptor In Vivo Enhances Antitumor Immunity

TL;DR: The data suggest that engagement of the OX-40R in vivo augments tumor- specific priming by stimulating/expanding the natural repertoire of the host’s tumor-specific CD4+ T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical effects and toxicity of interleukin-2 in patients with cancer

TL;DR: Interleukin‐2 derived from both natural and recombinant sources has been studied in Phase I protocols designed to evaluate toxicity in patients with a variety of solid tumors and to ascertain improvement in clinical parameters and immunologic status.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perioperative blood transfusions are associated with decreased time to recurrence and decreased survival after resection of colorectal liver metastases

TL;DR: It is concluded that the amount of perioperative blood transfused is an independent prognostic factor that adversely effects disease-free and overall survival.
