Interferon–Alpha-2a for the Treatment of Complex Hemangiomas of Infancy and Childhood

Abstract

Interferon-alpha inhibits angiogenesis and endothelial cell migration and proliferation in vitro. The patients in this study add to the growing number who have benefited from IFN therapy. As such, IFN-alpha should be considered as a first-line agent in treating complex hemangiomas of infants and children.
