| Abstract: | Chemotherapeutic response of two squamous cell carcinoma xenograft lines (established from the primary and metastatic lesion of a tongue carcinoma) was studied using SC and SRC assays (as well as immunocompetent and -suppressed recipients in the latter assay). The two assays provided similar ranking of drugs, in the sense that in each instances two of the three (cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil, vinblastine) most active agents were identical. The host response in immunocompetent recipients supports the need for histology to prove the proper quality of the implanted tumor tissue in order to be used for drug evaluation. |
