title: [Adjuvant therapy with vinblastine and interferon in metastatic renal carcinoma].
abstract: An integrated therapeutic approach was adopted to treat metastatic renal carcinoma, the reason being: 1) to effect a regression of metastasis that could not be attacked surgically either because of its location or extent; 2) to limit micrometastatic diffusion in patients with N+.0.05 mg/kg Vinblastine was used every three weeks in association with alfa-2A-IFN in a dose of 18 X 10(6) U 3 times a week. Included in this study were twelve patients with renal carcinoma subjected to nephrectomy with lymph nodal metastases and with or without remote M+. Without drawing hasty conclusions, this therapy can be said to have a useful role after correct surgical approach.
