We proceeded with intratumoral injection therapy of dendritic cells (DC) in combination with hyperthermia for 41 cancer patients in the past two years. We confirmed a total of two CR cases (one of them already reported). We report two successful cases in this paper. Case 1: A uterine cervical cancer patient with metastases in cervical and abdominal lymphnodes was treated with intratumoral DC injection therapy combined with hyperthermia in cervical. She showed a CR not only in cervical but also in abdominal lymph nodes. Case 2: A sialyl grand cancer patient with metastases in cervical and axillary lymphnodes was treated with intratumoral DC injection therapy combined with hyperthermia in cervical. She showed a PR.
