Abstract
We have studied activity and toxicity of subcutaneous recombinant inte rleukin-2 and interferon alpha 2b in a series of 14 patients with adva nced renal cell carcinoma. No objective response was observed, and the median survival was 16 months (range 3-19); toxicity was acceptable. All the patients had poor prognostic factors and were pretreated with interferon.
