Objective: This research was aimed to evaluate the immune mechanism and clinical effect of immunotherapy of dendritic cells (DC) and cytokine-induced killer cell (CIK) combined with chemotherapy on multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: 60 patients with MM were randomly divided into two groups. 30 patients in chemotherapy group were treated by chemotherapy only, 30 patients in joint group were treated by adoptive immunotherapy (DC-CIK) combined with chemotherapy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to discuss the clinical effectiveness of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with gemcitabine administered by intra-arterial infusion on intermediate and advanced pancreatic cancer.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with intermediate and advanced pancreatic cancer were divided into two groups. Twenty-four patients of the experimental group were treated by HIFU combined with gemcitabine, and 24 patients of the the HIFU group were treated by HIFU alone.

This study was aimed to investigate the killing activity of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells after being incubated with autologous tumor cell lysate-pulsed dendritic cells (DC) and to evaluate the clinical efficacy and side effect of autologous tumor cell lysate-loaded DC in combination with CIK on relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were isolated from 9 patients with NHL, and cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) to produce DC. The DC were pulsed with autologous tumor cell lysate.
