摘要
Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) is a breast cancer type with poor prognosis due to the absence of targets for the treatment of endocrine and anti-HER-2 therapy. Furthermore, only about 20% of TNBC are sensitive to conventional chemotherapy. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of adjuvant dendrtic cell(DC)-cytokineinduced killer cells(CIK) immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy with/without radiotherapy in patients with postoperative TNBC.Method: From December 1,2006 to February28,2011, 68 patients with postoperative TNBC were included in this retrospective study: 43 cases received chemotherapy with/without radiotherapy; 25 cases received DC-CIK cells infusion combined with chemotherapy with/without radiotherapy.Results: Survival analysis showed the 5-years disease-free survival(DFS) rate was significantly higher in the DC-CIK group compared with the non- DC-CIK group(P=0.049). Further subgroup analysis stratified according to tumor–node–metastasis(TNM) stages showed that the 5-years DFS was significantly increased in DC-CIK group with advanced TNM stages(including IIb,III,IV TNM stage) than the non- DC-CIK, and 5-year OS rate in advanced-stage subgroup was also improved although it only approved borderline statistical significance(P=0.051).Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that TNBC patients with advanced TNM stages could benefitted from adjuvant DC-CIK cells infusion combined with conventional therapy in terms of preventing disease relapse and increasing overall survival.
