Cytokine Working Group Study of Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy, Interleukin-2, and Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma: Clinical Outcomes and Peripheral-Blood Cell Recovery

Abstract

Chemotherapy-induced lymphodepletion modulates the homeostatic repopulation of the lymphocyte compartment and influences recovering lymphocyte subpopulations. Clinical activity seems similar to standard high-dose aldesleukin alone.
