Cancer patient from Illinois joins interferon study
In Houston a 37 year old Northbrook woman, Joan Karafotas, received the first synthetic interferon dose as eight patients with advanced cancers begin a four month trial at MD Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute. The project aims to find a cheap supply of interferon and evaluate its potential as a cancer fighter as the first step toward FDA approval.

Synthetic Interferon Trial Offers Hope in Cancer Fight
Dr Jordan Gutterman leads a trial testing synthetic interferon for human use to compare safety and efficacy with natural interferon. Mrs Karafotas will receive two small weekly doses for six weeks as doctors seek a purer, potentially more effective cancer treatment. The study notes natural interferon is costly and impure, while synthetic versions may be cheaper and more plentiful. Cancer of the lymph glands affects about 39 500 Americans yearly, with 21 600 deaths. Mrs Karafotas, a mother of three, pursued this treatment after opting against traditional chemotherapy and relying on limited natural interferon with positive stability.
