Disclosed are methods for potentiating the anti-cancer properties of an anti-cancer therapy in a mammal by administering with the therapy a compound (such as relaxin or gamma-IFN) that has a tissue tensile modulus-reducing property, an ability to reduce the interstitial viscosity of the cancer, an ability to increase the hydraulic conductance of the cancer, or an ability to increase collagen turnover or decrease collagen formation at or near the cancer, where the therapy and the compound are administered at dosages which together are sufficient to destroy, slow, or arrest the cancer. Also disclosed is a method for treating cancer in a mammal involving the administration of relaxin and/or gamma-IFN peptides and an anti-cancer therapy to the mammal, where the peptides and the therapy are administered at dosages which together are sufficient to destroy, slow, or arrest the cancer.
