title: Interferon and murine leukemia. VII. Therapeutic effect of interferon preparations after diagnosis of lymphoma in AKR mice.
abstract: Daily administration of potent mouse interferon preparations, begun after clinical diagnosis of lymphoma in AKR mice, increased average survival by approximately 100%. Interferon treatment delayed the evolution of the lymphoma but regression of tumour was not observed. The therapeutic effects observed with interferon in AKR mice compare favorably with reported results obtained using standard anti-cancer drugs.
