Interferon prolongs the time period before a recurrance of cancer reappears. I took it for eleven months for melanoma cancer. It does do damage to your liver but quickly corrects itself when you stop taking interferon.

a rare but possible side effect of Interferon is Liver damage. Monitoring the liver (blood test) early in the treatment usually catches it. All drugs has possible rare side effects. Interferon has been used for almost 30 years to treat serious illness. As noted already it has had some success in treating melanoma. It also is about the only treatment for Hepatitis C.
