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
## BACKGROUND. Interferon in combination with 5-fluorouracil has been shown to be active in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) of the esophagus. 13-cis-retinoic acid (CRA) has chemopreventive activity in SCC of the head and neck, and, in combination with interferon, has antitumo
## BACKGROUND. Advanced unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma has a dismal prognosis. The authors previously have shown that retinoic acid (RA) and interferon-␣ (IFN-␣) inhibit growth and induce differentiation in human pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this trial wa
