Interferon (IFN) in multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Acta haematologica Polonica
A Gola

Abstract

Interferon combined with cytostatics yielded in multiple myeloma more objective reactions than conventional chemotherapy. Survival time elongation was achieved solely by maintaining myeloma remissions with long term interferon administration. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma combinations of cytostatics with interferon were more effective than conventional chemo-and radiotherapy only when used in low grade lymphomas of the nodular type. Evidence for longer survival of these patients still waits for presentation.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
