## Abstract InterferonβΞ² (IFNβΞ²) has been used as an antitumor drug against human glioma, melanoma and medulloblastoma since the 1980s. Recently, we developed a new gene therapy using the __IFN__βΞ² gene against malignant gliomas and then began clinical trials in 2000. Since stimulation of immune sy
## Abstract Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been shown to be involved in malignant behaviors, such as invasion and metastasis, in different tumors. Hence, HGF could be a target molecule for control of the malignant potential of cancer. NK4 is a competitive antagonist for HGF and exerts an antitu
Lovastatin, a drug commonly used in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, has previously been reported to exert potentiated antitumor activity when combined with either tumor necrosis factor-β£ (TNF-β£), cisplatin or doxorubicin in a melanoma model in mice. Since lovastatin interferes with the functi
