Basal cell carcinoma treated with interferon.
Human natural leukocytic interferon (HNLI) and recombinant interferon (rIFN) alpha 2c can be used in the therapy of basal cell carcinoma. Seventy-two patients were treated for 3 to 6 weeks with a single dose of 400,000 to 1,200,000 units (HNLI) and 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 units (rIFN alpha 2c). According to histopathologic and clinical findings, 52 patients were cured, and cancer cells were not found in the biopsy material taken after HNLI treatment for the second biopsy. In nine of 72 patients the cancer lesion was reduced 25% to 90%. In 11 patients it was not reduced or was reduced less than 25%. With rIFN alpha 2c therapy given five times per week for 4 weeks, histopathologic and clinical findings showed that five patients out of 12 were cured, and cancer cells were not found in the biopsy material taken after treatment. In seven patients out of 12 the cancer lesion was reduced 25% to 90%. Both types of interferons are effective in the treatment of basal cell carcinoma. Side effects were mild.

Treatment of squamous cell carcinoma with interferon.
Human natural leukocytic interferon and recombinant HulFN alpha 2c can be used in the therapy of squamous cell carcinoma. The duration of treatment was 3-6 weeks. A single dose was 400,000-5,000,000 units given weekly for 3-6 weeks. Clinically and histologically 19 of 32 patients were cured and tumor cells were not found in the material taken after interferon treatment for the second biopsy. In ten patients tumor size was reduced 25-90%, and in three patients tumor size was not reduced according to clinical findings. With recombinant HulFN alpha 2c therapy given 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Four of ten patients with similar tumors were cured clinically and histologically clinical findings. In five patients tumor size was reduced 25-90%, while in one patient there was no reduction in tumor size. Both types of interferons are effective in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. Side reactions were mild.

Interferon therapy for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Totally 161 basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma (BCC, SCC) patients were treated with human natural leucocytic interferon (HNLI) and recombinant IFN alpha 2c. After HNLI treatment, 61 out of 86 BCC patients and 29 out of 45 SCC patients were cured according to histopathologic and clinical findings. In 13 BCC and 13 SCC patients, the cancer lesion was reduced 25%-90%. After recombinant IFN alpha 2c treatment, 14 of 20 BCC patients and 4 of 10 SCC patients were cured according to histopathologic and clinical findings. In 6 BCC patients and 5 SCC patients the cancer lesion was reduced 25% to 90%. Both types of interferons are effective in the treatment of BCC and SCC patients. Local application of interferon stimulates immune reaction at the site of the tumor. There is a marked difference between the spontaneous macrophage activity and that induced by interferon. The interferon activated macrophages are significantly larger, the number of lysosomes and the density of macrophages is increased. In difficult locations intralesional therapy can be considered to avoid disfigurement of the patients with or without surgery.
