Brief summary

The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of cryosurgery plus NK immunotherapy to advanced liver cancer.

Detailed description

By enrolling patients with liver cancer adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of the combined therapy using cryosurgery and nature killer (NK) cells for advanced liver cancer. The safety will be evaluated by statistics of adverse reactions. The efficacy will be evaluated according to local relief degree, progress free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Interventions

DEVICECryosurgery

Argon-helium cryosurgical system (percutaneous ablation under CT or ultrasound guidance)

BIOLOGICALNK Immunotherapy

Natural killer cell (each treatment: about 10 billion cells transfusion in 3 times, i.v.)
