Abstract

1 presented results from the Nordic IFN trial. Their fi ndings support results from earlier studies, showing a clear eff ect of adjuvant high-dose interferon alfa-2b on relapse-free survival in patients with high-risk melanoma, but no or a small eff ect on overall survival. In past investigations, this discrepancy might be partly explained by in suffi cient follow-up time because many studies have been prematurely fi nalised before most of the expected deaths had occurred. 2,3 Therefore, an important merit of the Nordic IFN trial is its long length of follow-up; however, this time might still not be long enough.
