WHAT BEROMUN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Beromun contains the active substance tasonermin (tumor necrosis
factor alfa-1a), produced by
recombinant DNA technology. It belongs to a class of medicines known
as immunostimulants, which
help your body’s immune system fight cancer cells.
Beromun is used, together with melphalan containing medicine, for the
treatment of soft tissue
sarcoma of the arms and legs. By reducing the size of the tumour, the
treatment is intended to facilitate
the removal of the tumor by surgery or to prevent severe damage to the
surrounding healthy tissue and
thus to delay or prevent the need for arm or leg amputation.
