Measure
Autologous Lymphocyte Infusion (ALI) for Patients With Solid Tumor Malignancies After Radiation.
Autologous lymphocyte infusion (ALI) for patients with solid tumor malignancies after chemo- radiation therapy. Autologous lymphocyte infusion (ALI): On the day after completing the last dose of radiation therapy, the patient will have an appointment scheduled in the Apheresis Unit for the infusion of unmunipulated cryopreserved cells. Patients will be pre medicated with acetaminophen (325-650 mg PO) and diphenhydramine (12.5-25 mg PO or IV) prior to infusion. Cells will be infused without a leukoreduction filter at a rate determined by cell volume.
