TL;DR: The clinical experience suggests that recombinant interferon-alpha has an important role in the treatment of superficial transitional cell carcinoma, particularly as second line therapy following failure of BCG or chemotherapy, and it may have synergistic effects when combined with chemotherapy or BCG.

TL;DR: A diagnostic algorithm is proposed for IC based on the findings that indicate that if the DMMCR > 0.75, then IC is present and if theDMMCR < 0.5, thenIC is negative; and a quantitative S-100 protein staining analysis can be employed to evaluate nerve fiber proliferation to detect those marginal cases of NC-IC.

TL;DR: Finasteride appears to lower total and free PSA levels equally in men with BPH and does not appear to change the ratio of free to total serum PSA.

TL;DR: ALVAC provides a viable approach to the development of immunotherapy regimens for the interferon-c (IFN-c) resulted in dose-dependent cytokine production and the toxicity of ALVAC alone was shown to treatment of locally invasive or metastatic bladder cancer.
