Pancreatic Cancer, S1, DC-CIK
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor effect and safety of clinical effectiveness S-1 plus dendritic cell activated Cytokine induced killer treatment (DC-CIK) for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
Interventions
The DC-CIK cells were infused on days 15, 17, and 19 of 21-day cycles.
The dose of S-1 is determined according to the body surface area as follows: \<1.25 m2, 40 mg; 1.25-\<1.5 m2, 50 mg; and \>1.5 m2, 60 mg, given twice daily after meals for 14 days followed by a 7-day rest. Cycles is repeated every 21 days. Treatment is continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxic effects, or the withdrawal of consent.
