Abstract
A phase II clinical trial for head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) patients using multiple peptides vaccine derived from tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) was performed. The therapy was well tolerated and overall survival was statistically significantly longer in vaccinated patients, and the patients exhibiting cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) responses to multiple peptides exhibited better prognosis.Entities:
