ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a method for inducing a selective collapse of the vasculature of a solid tumor by administering to a patient a therapeutically effective dose of a combination of a compound preventing the formation of a functional thrombin-thrombomodulin complex and a cytokine selected from the group of TNF-.beta. (LT), TNF-.alpha., IL-1, and IFN-.gamma.. The invention further concerns the composition used in this method.
