Ovarian Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) transfusion can prolong survival of patients with ovarian carcinoma.
Detailed description
The primary objective is to evaluate whether RFA followed by CIK transfusion can prolong survival of patients with ovarian carcinoma.
Interventions
Radiofrequency ablation is performed percutaneously under CT/US guidance
The patients received autologous cytokine-induced killer cells transfusion one week after RFA treatment.
