Immunotherapy Combined With Capecitabine Versus Capecitabine Monotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer
Sponsor: The First People's Hospital of Changzhou
Summary
The prognosis of advanced breast cancer does not improve much recently although varies of adjuvant drugs have been tried.Dendritic cells co-cultured with cytokine-induced killer cells(DC-CIK) immunotherapy has been proved to improve survival in several cancers, but its role in advanced breast cancer stains unclear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DC-CIK immunotherapy combined with capecitabine versus capecitabine monotherapy for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
