Augmentation of specific immunity is one of the most promising immunotherapeutical approaches against solid tumors. Protocols using autologous tumor cells or tumor associated antigens are easily performed and not charged by severe side effects. Recently some clinical trials suggested good results from immunotherapeutical protocols applied as an adjuvant to surgery in terms of disease free interval, survival and progression time in different stages. In this review the authors report the results of the most important clinical trials of vaccinetherapy in solid tumors. Little is known about the possibility of this new approach to oncology since we are at the real beginning of a new clinical treatment but in the considered trial its effectiveness seems to suggest a future wider application.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
