Studies
1)
Seventy nine people in advanced stages of cancer were treated with the drug LAK/IL-2 combined with Lycium Barbarum polysaccharides (LBP). From the 75 evaluable patients, regression of the following cancers was observed: malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and malignant hydrothorax. The response rate of patients treated with LAK/IL-2 and LBP was 40.9% while that of patients treated only with LAK/IL-2 was 16.1%.
