ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although promising results have recently been reported using dendritic cells (DCs) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIKs) to treat pancreatic cancer (PC), its clinical effect and safety are associated with some controversy, and lack sufficient evidence. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of 21 clinical trials to better evaluate the efficacy of DC-CIK immunotherapy in clinical practice to treat PC.METHODS:
PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (WANFANG Data) were searched to identify clinical trials that used DC-CIK immunotherapy for PC. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0.RESULTS:
A total of 21 clinical trials involving 1549 patients were included. Compared with traditional treatment, DC-CIK immunotherapy improved and increased the clinical indices such as complete remission, partial remission, overall response rate, disease control rate, overall survival (0.5-y OS, 1-y OS, 1.5-y OS, 2-y OS and 3-y OS), interferon γ and CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ and CD3+CD56+ lymphocyte. Additionally, DC-CIK immunotherapy reduced stable disease, progression disease, mortality, CD8+, CD4+CD25+CD127 low lymphocyte and interleukin-4. Furthermore, it showed a low incidence of adverse reactions (22%).CONCLUSION:
In contrast to traditional therapy, DC-CIK immunotherapy not only shows improved short-term effect, long-term effect and immunologic function, but also reduces mortality and negative immunoregulatory index, and shows mild adverse reactions. This is the first study to evaluate the clinical effect and safety of DC-CIK immunotherapy for PC, and it indicated that DC-CIK immunotherapy may be suitable for patients with advanced PC or intolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Palabras clave
