title: Effect of interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) on various human tumor xenografts.
abstract: The growth of some human tumor xenografts (3 out of 8, melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma) was successfully--but moderately and temporarily--inhibited, when interferon-alpha (EGIS, Hungary) was given for 10 days. The route of administration (intratumoral or intraperitoneal) was usually not a decisive factor. An attempt to potentiate IFNa action with Zymozan or Cyclophosphamide did not succeed.
