Abstract
This invention provides medicaments and methods for managing cancer using donor cells that are alloactivated in culture. Alloactivated cells are implanted into the bed of a solid tumor and initiate a response by the host against the tumor. Subsequently, alloactivated cells are implanted into the bed of a solid tumor a second time. The two implants work synergistically to confer remarkable benefit to the treated subject, both in terms of management of the cancer and the development of an anti-cancer immune response. The beneficial effects may include regression of the tumor and extended survival. Removal of any residual tumor after the second implant facilitates ongoing resistance to tumor regrowth or metastasis.
