Dendric cell vaccine for breast cancer

I wondered if anyone was receiving this type of vaccine for metastatic breast cancer.
A patient at my centre is travelling to Alabama to get this. I understand it is not her 2 specific but works by targeting a protein found in large quantities in breast and other cancers.
My own oncologist is not optimistic about vaccines but I know there are others that feel this is a positive way forward as it targets the patients own immune system.
Would be grateful for any information
