Breast cancer represents a major public health problem, afflicting 12% of women in affluent
countries [7]. Although considerable cure rates are achieved in localized disease, the results
in advanced disease are still disappointing [8]. Therefore new therapeutic strategies are

immunotherapeutic approach, and present preliminary results from an ongoing phase I trial.
