Preferred Label : Autologous Tumor Cells/Bacillus Calmette-Guerin/Formalin-based Vaccine;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous Tumor Cells/BCG/Formalin-based Vaccine;
NCIt definition : A therapeutic personalized breast cancer vaccine composed of autologous tumor cells
and bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in a liquid vehicle containing formalin, with potential
immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon vaccination, the autologous tumor
cells/BCG/formalin-based vaccine, which contains an individual's unique set of tumor-associated
antigens (TAAs), may stimulate the immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte
(CTL) response against the breast cancer cells, resulting in decreased tumor growth.
The BCG component serves as an adjuvant, a nonspecific stimulator of the immune response.;
