Abstract
Ten patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer were treated with a combination of chemotherapy and active specific immunotherapy after tumour stasis had been induced. They were inoculated with irradiated allogeneic cryopreserved tumour cells and B.C.G. once monthly in addition to receiving conventional chemotherapy. The overall duration of "remission", median survival, and projected 24-month actuarial survival in the patients receiving immunotherapy were apparently better than in a retrospectively matched control group treated by chemotherapy alone.Entities:
