RESUMEN
Isolation perfusion with the use of chemotherapeutic agents is an added modality of treatment in our fight against malignancy. It is, however, limited to cancer patients who fail to respond to conventional type of treatment (surgery and irradiation). Its therapeutic value is best demonstrated in regionally recurrent or inoperable cancer where it affords significant relief of pain to a lesser extent, a diminution in the size of the tumor mass. (Conclusion)
RESUMEN
Electrophoretic studies were made on tissue extract and sera from normal strong A mice, non-pre-treated mice challenged with Ehrlich Ascites Tumor cells; mice pre-treated with formalin-killed ascites Tumor cells prior to challenge with live EAT cells; normal human beings; patients with non-neoplastic diseases; and patients with cancer. The significance of the findings were analyzed. A consideration that the changes in the pre-treated and challenged mice indicated that the development of immunity was made. (Summary)
RESUMEN
1. A technique for exfoliative cytology, using fluorescence microscopy and acridine-orange fluoreschrome is described2. The method was used in the examination of 83 exfoliative cytology preparations3. The ease in preparation, examination and detection of atypical cells in the slides for screening is at least twice as fast with the AO method4. The AO method was found to be almost equal in diagnostic accuracy to the Papanicolaou method.(Summary and Conclusions)
RESUMEN
1. Seventy-two Strong A mice (male) were pre-treated with formalin-killed EAT cells injected to the subcutis at the inter scapular area once a week for three consecutive weeks. These were challenged later with live EAT cells on the fourth week and observed for tumor growth. There was marked diminution of the tumor weights in the experimental group in comparison with those in the controls. In 29.8 percent of the experimental mice, total inhibition of EAT growth was observed2. Further studies will be done in an effort to elucidate this phenomenon. (Summary)
