Dendritic cells combining with cytokine-induced killer cells synergize chemotherapy in patients with late-stage non-small cell lung cancer

Background  

Lung cancer is the leading cause for cancer-related mortality and morbidity, and the survival of late-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poor. We hereby evaluate conventional chemotherapy followed by immunotherapy using dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells in the treatment for late stage of NSCLC.
