Abstrakt: A total of 66 patients with advanced renal cell cancer received a combination of recombinant interferon alpha-2a (18 times 106units subcutaneously 3 times weekly) and vinblastine (0.1mg. per kg. intravenously every 3 weeks). Four patients were ineligible and 6 were inevaluable for response but evaluable for toxicity. There were no complete and 9 partial responses among the 56 evaluable patients, for a response rate of 16 per cent. Median duration of response was 26 weeks, with a range of 8 to 50 weeks. Responses were observed predominantly in patients with lung and soft tissue metastases. Patients who had undergone nephrectomy did not show a better response rate than those who had not.
