Brief Summary: Single-arm, monocentric trial to assess safety and immunological efficacy of adjuvant vaccination with autologous dendritic cells loaded with autologous tumour homogenate after curative resection for stage IV rare cancers (In Head/Neck tumors (H\&N), NEuroendocrine Tumors (NET) and Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS).
Detailed Description: This is a single-arm, multi-cohort phase II study, to evaluate the immunological effectiveness and safety of adjuvant Dendritic Cell (DC) vaccination. The evaluation of immunological efficacy will be expressed as the number of patients who show enhancement of the proportion of circulating immune effectors specific for a selected panel of associated antigens for each disease (HNSCC, NET and STS). To avoid unacceptable toxicity, a formal safety analysis will be conducted after six patients have been observed (two for each disease) for at least 30 days after the third treatment cycle. If two or more patients have experienced grade 3 or higher adverse events, enrollment will be definitively stopped; differently, other 15 patients for each disease will be enrolled and evaluation of primary objectives will be done for each cohort separately (H\&N, STS and NET).
