title: [Recombinant interleukin-2 (roncoleukin) in therapy of the patients with skin melanoma].
abstract: The article deals with a problem of combined use of interferon (laferon) and interleukin in patients with skin melanoma. Recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) was included into the worked-out scheme. Patients with primary-localized skin melanoma (T(2-4)N0M0) have been studied. Three groups were chosen. 901 patients of the control group underwent excision of tumor (e/t); 34 patients of the first study group (e/1) were given endolymphatic interferontherapy (ift); 35 patients of the second study group were subjected to excision of tumor followed by endolymphatic interferontherapy. One-year relapse-free survival among patients of the control group reached 57.6+/-1.6%, 1st study group--70.5+/-7.8% and 2nd study group--83.6+/-6.7%. Total one-year survival among patients of the control group was 92.1+/-0.9%, in the 1st study group--97.0+/-2.9%, in the 2nd study group--92.7+/-5.0%. Thus, the combined use of recombinant interferon (laferon and interleukin (ronkoleukin) in treatment schemes of malignant skin melanoma was proved to be perspective.
