Research Abstract

An adjuvant therapy using combination of Gemcitabine and auto γδ T lymphocyte immunotherapy was conducted for postoperative patients with pancreatic cancer. Twenty-two patients were enrolled and actually 11 patients received the combination therapy. The safety of the therapy was confirmed, but the benefit for disease-free survival was unclear. Further follow-up will be needed.
