Abstract
Thirty evaluable patients with advanced carcinoma of the pancreas received treatment with either daily x 5 bolus or continuous infusion x 5 days recombinant gamma-interferon. No responses were noted. Major toxicities included fever, hypotension, and flu-like symptoms. gamma-Interferon does not appear to be an active single agent for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
