## Abstract Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of tumorβassociated genes leading to their inactivation is a common event in many cancer types. Using a sensitive restrictionβmultiplex PCR method, we studied the promoter hypermethylation profile of the __p16, p15, hMLH1, MGMT__ and __Eβcad__ genes in
Therapy with IL-12 or IL-2 induces tumor regression in only a few patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and the factors promoting responsiveness have not been well defined. In this study, we examined whether combined IL-12 and IL-2 therapy can induce tumor regression in a new mu
