Author(s) : FONTANA G., CACCIA P., SESIA G.

Summary

AN ACCOUNT IS GIVEN OF A COMBINED CRYOSURGERY AND BETA-INTERFERON PROTOCOL FOR THE TREATMENT OF ADVANCED PROSTATE CARCINOMA, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FAILURE OF HORMONE MANAGEMENT. IN ADDITION TO DESTROYING TUMOURS, CRYOSURGERY STIMULATES THE HOST'S RESISTANCE TO THEM (CRYOIMMUNOTHERAPY). IN VITRO STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT BETA-INTERFERON IS AN EFFICIENT INDUCER OF THE SYNTHESIS OF ANDROGEN RECEPTORS IN HUMAN PROSTATE CARCINOMA CELL LINES.
