Background. Chemotherapy is most effective when applied during the biologically active stage of tumor cells. According to the authors' previous tumor marker kinetic study, methotrexate plus 5-fluorouracil (MF) was found to yield either a cytolytic effect in an MF-sensitive tumor cell population or a
The authors tested a biotherapy regimen involving recombinant interferon-β£-2a (rIFN-β£-2a) and recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2), given in a "decrescendo" schedule over 5 days, for its activity and toxicity in 21 patients who previously had received chemotherapy for advanced melanoma. ## METH
