Retinoic acid and interferon combination studies in human cancer

S M Lippman et al. Eur J Cancer. 1993.

Abstract

Retinoic acid and interferon-alpha have limited single-agent activity in advanced cancer. Cell culture data indicate that in combination these agents have enhanced activity (modulating growth and differentiation) in a number of malignant cell types. Recent clinical work in advanced squamous cell carcinoma reports major activity with this regimen. This paper reviews the preclinical and clinical data testing retinoic acid in combination with interferons and presents recent work integrating these agents with radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer.
