  • Title: Interferon alfa-2a.
    Author: Williams CD, Linch DC.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(9):436-9. PubMed ID: 9274677.
    Abstract:
    Interferon alfa-2a shows both antiviral and antitumoral activity, but its role in the treatment of many conditions remains controversial. It is, however, the treatment of choice for chronic, active hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma, and is also effective in metastatic renal carcinoma and chronic myelogenous leukaemia. Optimal dose regimens are unclear, and further randomized trials are needed.
