Gene, thanks for posting ……. really appreciate you sharing the melanoma R&D and studies with us ….. The European study is consistent with what I had read earlier in a mel study originating out of Italy ….. that for some reason, interferon seems to deliver better results when the primary tumor was ulcerated….
On the old BB, now archived, I posted the preliminary findings about 2 years old and, in the ensuing board discussion, some members here provided anecdotal affirmation with regard to their experience (and belief in) in interferon and their continued NED status ……
Again, thanks for posting Gene,

@Hawaii Bob,
Just curious, but did you have Interferon treatment for Stage IIA?
I'm aware that different countries have their own approach to melanoma treatment, but Japan, where I am, is particularly conservative. I'm nearing the end of three ten day courses of Interferon for Stage IIA, whereas an Australian doctor would tell me I didn't need treatment.
