The present invention provides a novel method of treating localized solid tumors and papillomas in an individual, as well as metastatic carcinomas. The method comprises delivering a suicide gene, by way of a recombinant adenoviral vector or other DNA transport system, into the tumor, papilloma or wart of an individual. Subsequently, a prodrug, such as the drug gaciclovirTM, is administered to the individual. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for treating solid tumors, papillomas, warts and metastatic carcinomas, said method comprising introducing both a suicide gene and one or more cytokine genes into the tumor, papilloma or wart of an individual, and subsequently administering a prodrug to the individual. The methods of the present invention may be used to treat several different types of cancers and papillomas, including colon carcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, hepatoma, brain lymphoma and head and neck cancer.
