Abstract
We conducted an investigation on the prevention of cancer recurrence i n 68 renal cancer patients administered alpha-interferon as postoperat ive adjuvant therapy following curative resection of renal cancer. The incidence of recurrence and the survival rate of the patient group we re compared with the value of a control group to investigate the proph ylactic efficacy of alpha-interferon. The findings of this study revea led that alpha-interferon administration was effective in preventing p ostoperative recurrence in patients with Robson's stage I and II cance rs.
