Zusammenfassung

Seit der Einführung von Melphalan und Cyclophosphamid in die Behandlung des multiplen Myeloms konnten wesentliche Verbesserungen der zytostatischen und supportiven Therapie erreicht werden. Trotzdem sind die mit diesen konventionellen Behandlungsmaßnahmen erreichbaren mittleren Überlebenszeiten von 20–32 Monaten nach wie vor unbefriedigend [1], Dies mag mit ein Grund gewesen sein, warum die ersten Fallberichte über eine erfolgreiche Behandlung von Myelompatienten mit Interferon besonderen Optimismus auslöste. 1979 berichteten Ideström und Ma. [2] über einen gegenüber Melphalanresistenten Patienten, der unter Behandlung mit 3–6 x 106 U Leukozyteninterferon eine deutliche Reduktion seines Tumors erreichte. In einem weiteren, im selben Jahr veröffentlichten Bericht [3] wurden 4 bereits chemotherapieresistente Patienten beschrieben, die alle auf eine Interferonbehandlung angesprochen hatten, wobei 2 dieser Patienten sogar eine komplette Remission erreichten. In einer nachfolgenden größer angelegten Studie erzielte dieselbe Arbeitsgruppe jedoch mit einer Gesamtansprechrate von 14% weit weniger eindrucksvolle Resultate.
