Objective: We tried to establish short-term cultures of autologous tumors from patients with breast carcinoma for potential use as active specific immunotherapy (i.e., autologous vaccine) after resection of primary breast cancer, and/or for the treatment of metastases. Methods: Between 10/90 and 12/99 the cell biology laboratory of the Hoag Cancer Center attempted to establish short-term tumor cell lines from 115 breast cancer specimens from 56 primary breast lesions, 17 axillary nodes, 14 other lymph node/soft tissue sites, 10 chest wall recurrences, and 6 thoracenteses of malignant pleural effusions. Success was defined by growth of 5 X 10(7) viable cells whose malignant nature and breast cancer origin was confirmed by histology of the submitted tissue, cell morphology and antigenic phenotyping. Variables associated with successful growth of short-term cell lines were examined Results: Expansion to 5 X 10(7) cells was achieved for only 8/115 samples [7%] including two from chest wall recurrences, and one each from a supraclavicular node, an umbilical node, liver, omentum, and pleural fluid. Two of the successful cell lines were established from tissue that originally had been cryopreserved; the others were initiated from fresh tumor. The success rate was better from regional/distant metastases 7/55 (13%) compared to primary tumors 1/56 (1.8%) (p = 0.063). The success rate for tumors harvested at Hoag Hospital was 4/97 (4%) compared to 4/14 from (31%) distant sites, but all but one of the tumors from a distant geographic site was a metastatic lesion. Tumor cell lines were successfully established from metastatic lesions ranging in size from
