Pre-clinical data indicate that retinoid/interferon combinations have significant activity in modulating malignant cell growth, differentiation and programmed cell death in different hematologic and solid tumor systems . Clinically, the combination of 13-cis retinoic acid (13cRA) and interferon-a (I

## Abstract ## Background. We have previously conducted phase II trials with a combination of 13‐__cis__‐retinoic acid (13‐cRA), interferon‐α2a (IFN‐α2a), and α‐tocopherol (α‐TF) in patients with advanced oral premalignant lesions and locally advanced head and neck cancer in the adjuvant settings
It is well known that survival of patients with advanced squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) has not significantly improved despite recent advances in radiation and chemotherapy treatment. Specifically, a very low objective response rate can be obtained in patients with recurrent SC
## Background: In patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mrcc), interferon-alpha (ifn) monotherapy leads to response rates of 5-15%, dependent on the selection of patients. in 1995, preclinical and clinical data indicated an improvement of these results if ifn was combined with 13-cis retin
