Abstract
Several possible mechanisms for the synergistic anti-tumour effects between tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and melphalan after isolated limb perfusion (ILP) have been presented. We found a significant sixfold increase in melphalan tumour tissue concentration after ILP when TNF-alpha was added to the perfusate, which provides a straightforward explanation for the observed synergism between melphalan and TNF-alpha in ILP.Entities:
