Abstract：
:T cell immunity in breast cancer is suggested to play a role in tumor dormancy, a period of stability which can correspond to the time interval between primary treatment and tumor recurrence. Bone marrow in breast cancer patients seems to be particularly important because it is highly enriched with cancer specific memory T cells. Similar cells can be found in peripheral blood, but these appear to be functionally anergic. The immune system of primary operated breast cancer patients does not seem to be completely anergized. Bone marrow derived memory T cells can be reactivated ex vivo and show functional reactivity, including tumor rejection in NOD/SCID mice. Promising results were obtained from a postoperative phase-II active specific immunotherapy study. In this study, 32 patients treated with an optimal formulation of a virus-modified autologous tumor vaccine (ATV-NDV) appeared to have a significant 5-year survival benefit. Our results suggest that cancer reactive memory T cells which are enriched in the bone marrow of breast cancer patients, can be activated ex vivo via autologous dendritic cells pulsed with breast cancer tumor antigens, or they can be activated in situ via a tumor vaccine, which combines tumor antigens with virus infection. The findings should encourage further studies in breast cancer on active specific immunotherapy with tumor vaccines or adoptive immunotherapy with activated memory T cells.
