Brief Summary
NK cells can persist and expand in vivo following adoptive transfer and may have a role in the treatment of late stage malignancies. NK also express an activating Fc receptor that mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and production of immune modulatory cytokines in response to antibody-coated targets. Nimotuzumab, an monoclonal antibody against EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), may enhance the ADCC effect of NK cell. This study will evaluate the safety of combination of nimotuzumab and NK Cell in treating advanced cancer patients. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

Experimental Group
EXPERIMENTALPeripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected. The NK cell will be selected and expanded ex vivo, then adaptive transfer back into patients. A total of 5.0 x 10\^8/L NK cells will be infused in one cycle.To avoid allergic reactions, 50 mg hydrocortisone was intramuscularly injected into patient 30 min before cells infusion every time. Best supportive care was also provided for patients. Nimotuzumab will be used 24 hours before infusion. Patients continued receiving treatment unless they had unacceptable adverse effects, or progressive disease confirmed by CT and PET-CT or they withdrew consent.
