Meanwhile, tumor growth was inhibited significantly (2.23 ± 0.43 g) in the combination treatment group in contrast with IFN-α treatment alone (3.22 ± 0.62 g, P = 0.01), imatinib treatment alone (3.10 ± 0.62 g), and the normal saline group (3.81 ± 0.92 g, P = 0.003). The gene discussed is IFNA1; the disease is neoplasm.
