A patient with bilateral ovarian cancer, peritoneal dissemination, and multiple liver and lung metastases was found with a sudden accumulation of ascites six months after delivery. Chemotherapy was started, but the prognosis was judged to be poor, so immuno-cell therapy was combined with chemotherapy. After multiple cycles of Wilms' tumor antigen 1 (WT1) dendritic cell vaccine therapy and highly activated natural killer (NK) cell therapy, the patient showed a disappearance of ascites and a remarkable reduction of multiple cancers in the whole body. Furthermore, there were no side effects other than reactive fever caused by the administration of immune cells, and no damage to the patient's body was observed. This case suggests that not only the combined effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy but also the combined use of various types of immuno-cell therapy may provide beneficial clinical effects in patients with extremely poor prognoses and few options for standard treatment.
