Brief Summary

Background: cellular immunotherapy with dendritic cells (DC) loaded with tumor antigens has shown clinical activity, although in a small number of patients. Therefore, is is mandatory to improve the results of this strategy and to closely monitor immunologic response and cell migration in order to improve our understanding of mechanisms of action and to settle future fields of development.. Objectives: Primary: to confirm clinical activity of this strategy, determining tumor response (RECIST criteria). Secondary: to determine: (1) safety; (2) antitumoral immune response and (3) DC migration in the organism Methodology: phase II trial in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and melanoma. We will perform repeated immunizations with DC loaded with the patient´s tumor.
