Adjuvant immunotherapy for the preventive, curative or palliative treatment of chronic systemic diseases such as cancer, of clinical manifestations associated with diseases like cachexia and correction of adverse effects of drugs such as immunosuppression, neutropenia and lymphopenia, comprising the association or combination of a biological response modifier specially selected and other substances with antineoplastic action and/or other treatments
First Claim
1. A compound for use in a method of treatment of lung cancer, including precancerous lesions, and adverse events caused by said cancer or anti-cancer agents and treatments, including cancer cachexia, lymphopenia, neutropenia and febrile neutropenia of said cancer, the compound comprising in combination:
- (a) an immunomodulator, wherein the immunomodulator is a proteic aggregate of ammonium and magnesium phospholinoleate-palmitoleate anhydride, with molecular weight of 320.000 Dalton, having of 11.6±
4.0% of total lipids (22.7±
5.0% of palmitoleic acid, 42.9±
2.0% of linoleic acid, 32.0±
3.0% of oxidated linoleic acid), 20.1±
0.9% of magnesium ions, 10.0±
3.3% of ammonium ions, 45.2+2.7% of phosphate, and 0.49±
0.01% of proteins, and(b) at least one anti-cancer agent suitable for treating said cancer, said agent providing synergistic effects without additional toxicity when used with the immunomodulator, wherein the anti-cancer agent is cytokines (interleukin-2 (IL-2), interleukin 12(IL-12), interferon alpha, interferon alpha-2a, peginterferon alpha-2a, interferon alpha-2b, peginterferon alpha-2b, interferon alpha-n1, interferon alphacon-1, interferon beta, interferon beta-1a, interferon beta-1 b, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)), wherein the anti-cancer treatment is selected from the group consisting of;
surgical procedures (surgery, cryosurgery, electrocauterization, surgery associated to polarized light or laser with the use of photosensitizing substances, removal of lesions by chemical abrasion, removal of lesions by electrocauterization, endoscopic ablation, endoscopic radiofrequency ablation with the use of balloon catheter) transplantation of bone marrow cells, systemic and localized radiotherapy, and combinations thereof.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a new combination or association of pharmacologically active substances and/or non-drug treatments for cancer. According to the present invention, the combination or association of substances and/or non-drug treatments is used to treat cancer, clinical problems associated to cancer and adverse side effects related to substances and/or treatments used to fight this illness. The components of the combination or association of substances, the biological response modifier (proteic aggregate of ammonium and magnesium phospholinoleate-palmitoleate anhydride) and at least one substance and/or treatment with antineoplastic properties can be jointly or simultaneously or consecutively or sequentially administered in an appropriate form, according to their chemical properties, and with the use of the most suitable procedures, and also in the most therapeutically effective dose and use.
