Figure 4

PET/CT scans of patient n 19 (MJ) performed in September 2005 (positive PET scan in several metastatic sites), February 2007, and March 2009 (negative PET scan for metasteses). During this period the patient underwent palliative surgery for symptomatic disease (e.g., hematuria due to renal metasteses) or to collect ATL for vaccination that started in February 2005 and terminated in June 2008 because the ATL was finished. Radiosurgery (Gamma Knife) was carried out on a small brain lesion in January 2008. The patient is still in CR (negative PET scan May 2010).
