Interferon, interleukin-2, and other cytokines
Abstract
Cytokines are a diverse group of signaling molecules with immunomodulatory activity. This article reviews the application of cytokine therapy in melanoma with a focus on interferon-α and interleukin-2. In addition, it addresses the clinical considerations of these therapies including patient selection, reduction in toxicity, and combination regimens.
Keywords: Cytokines; Granulocyte-macrophage colony–stimulating factor; Interferon; Interleukin-2; Interleukin-21; Melanoma.
