ABSTRACT:
Methods useful for treating cancers are disclosed. The methods involve administering human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or human luteinizing hormone (hLH) to patients having cancers. Articles of manufacture that are useful for carrying out the described methods are also described. The claimed methods are effective against breast, prostate, ovary, and stomach carcinomas, as well as neuroblastomas, and Kaposi's sarcoma, among others.
