Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in women. Recurrent breast cancer is not curable by standard therapies and new therapeutic approaches are needed. The goal of this study is to employ an alternative and safe approach to immunotherapy of breast cancer patients using monoclonal anti-idiotype (Id) antibodies in two conceptually different ways. In the first approach, monoclonal anti-Id antibodies which mimic breast cancer tumor-associated antigens (TAA) will be used to actively immunize patients for the production of anti-tumor immunity. In the second approach, monoclonal anti-Id antibodies will be used to remove unwanted excess radioactivity from the circulation of patients previously treated with radiolabeled monoclonal anti-breast TAA antibodies.
