Abstract:
Interferon-beta (IFN-B) plus thymostimulin (Th) were administered for eight weeks, intravenously and by intramuscular route to eight patients with metastatic brain tumors. No patient had a complete response. One had a stable disease and seven a progressive disease during that time. The mechanisms of the action of IFN-B and Th, and the possible therapeutic value are discussed.
