Abstract

To investigate the efficacy of chemotherapy and RectroNectin-activated cytokine-induced killer (R-CIK) cell immunotherapy in patients with advanced EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma. Using data gathered from a single institution, 125 patients with stage IIIB or IV EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma between January 2009 and June 2015 were identified and enrolled in this retrospective study. The disease control rates and median overall survival was better in R-CIK group compared with control group. Multivariate survival analysis showed that R-CIK cell treatment was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. R-CIK cell immunotherapy may prolong survival of patients with advanced EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma.
