Abstract

The article presents the review of clinical studies dealing with effectiveness of anticancer vaccines based on whole autologous or allogenic tumor cells or their lysates. The main results of clinical investigations of produced at R.Ye. Kavetsky Institute of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) anticancer vaccines based on autologous tumor cells and metabolic products of B.subtilis are described.
