8.No lymph node lesions greater than 3.0 cm at longest diameter.
9.Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function.
10.Normal organ function and normal hematological parameters; laboratory parameters should be within normal range, except following laboratory parameters: HEMOGLOBIN >= 10 G/DL; GRANULOCYTES >= 1,500/µL; LYMPHOCYTES >= 1000/µL; PLATELETS >= 100,000/µL; SERUM CREATININ <= 2.0 MG/DL; SERUM BILIRUBIN <= 2.0 MG/DL; AST AND ALT <= 2 X THE NORMAL UPPER LIMITS; LDH <= 1,5X NORMAL UPPER LIMIT; CRP <= 1,5X NORMAL UPPER LIMIT; PROTHROMBIN TIME (PT) INTERNATIONAL NORMALIZED RATIO (INR) AND PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME (PTT) WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS
11.No prior history of a serious autoimmune disorder

14.No clinically significant pleural effusion
15.No complete tumor obstruction (e.g., bronchus, ureter, or bowel)
16.Patient should not be taking concurrent corticosteroids as these may subside the immune function and interfere with immunotherapy response.
17.Patient should be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
1.History of other active malignancy.
2.Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunosuppressive or investigational therapy for metastatic disease in previous 12 months.
3.Strong opioids, immunosuppressives, megestrol acetate or other estrogenic hormones within 1 month prior to enrollment.
4.Brain, liver, or lung metastases; uncontrolled heart, liver, lung, or renal diseases or other serious illness.
5.Prior splenectomy.
