OC, ovarian cancer; SD, stable disease; PD, progressive disease; RD, recurrent disease; doses, doses of DC vaccinations; NED, no evidence of disease; PFS, progression free survival; OS, overall survival; TILs, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes; Bev, bevacizumab; Treg, regulatory T cells.

*Only the data of ovarian cancer patients are shown here, these clinical studies include more than one type of cancer disease.
