UNLABELLED
We report on Wilms tumor (WT1) peptide immunotherapy in a patient with intractable ovarian cancer patient over an extended period.
CASE REPORT
Immunotherapy using WT1 peptide has been undergoing clinical trials for gynecological cancer. We used WT1 peptide vaccination to treat a 53-year-old woman suffering from ovarian cancer with peritoneal dissemination. After 2 months, her pleural and cardiac effusion had disappeared, and the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesion (in the pelvic mass) was reduced. There was a weak positive correlation between CA125 and mononuclear phagocyte/lymphocyte ratio (Spearman's ϱ=0.275, p=0.015). Intradermally administered WT1 peptide vaccination in a case of intractable ovarian cancer stabilized the disease over the course of one year. However, the immunotherapeutic mechanism of WT1 peptide and immunological escape mechanism for carcinoma cells remain to be elucidated.
