1. A method for treating cancers which are susceptible to treatment with a combination of compounds provided herein, the method comprising administering by injection to a host the combination of:
- an effective amount of a flavone compound of the formula;
##STR4## in which AR is phenyl substituted by lower alkyl or lower alkoxy, or AR is thienyl, or furyl;
R1 is hydrogen;
B is a lower linear or branched alkylene or alkenylene radical;
X is hydrogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy;
n equals 1;
R2 is hydrogen, a lower dialkylamino, lower alkyl or morpholinoethyl for treating said cancer;
or an alkali metal salt of said acid;
and an effective amount of interleukin 2 for treating said cancer.
