A phase II trial of recombinant human gamma-interferon in the treatment of unresectable primary hepatocellular carcinoma is reported. The trial was terminated prematurely after recruitment of only 7 patients because of unacceptable toxicity, predominantly renal. There was no evidence of response in any of the 7 patients but some evidence that disease progression was more rapid during the treatment period.
