T. Uchibayashi et al., EFFECTS OF PROPHYLACTIC USE OF ALPHA-INTERFERON FOR PATIENTS WITH RENAL-CANCER, International journal of oncology, 4(5), 1994, pp. 1111-1114
We conducted an investigation on the prevention of cancer recurrence i
n 68 renal cancer patients administered alpha-interferon as postoperat

incidence of recurrence and the survival rate of the patient group we

led that alpha-interferon administration was effective in preventing p
ostoperative recurrence in patients with Robson's stage I and II cance
