Immunotherapy: Vaccine trials in melanoma -- time for reflection

Alexander M M Eggermont. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2009 May.

Abstract

The disappointing results of the large, randomized, controlled trials showing no benefit of vaccines in patients with advanced and metastatic melanoma call for a reassessment of the development of therapeutic vaccines and the importance of better immune monitoring methodology, such as adoptive T-cell therapy with lymphodepletion.
