Histopathological evaluation of tumor necrosis and volume after cyanogenic chemotherapy

PURPOSE:To determine the percentage of tumoral necrosis and volume after cyanogenic chemotherapy.METHODS:Histopathological findings of 20 Swiss mice inoculated subcutaneously in the left abdominal wall with 0.05 ml of cell suspension containing 2.5 x 105 viable cells of the Ehrlich tumor were evaluated. The tumor response to cyanogenic chemotherapy was determined using a system that comprises two inhibition factors of tumor growth by calculating the percentage of necrosis in the tumor tissue and calculation of tumor volume in treated animals relative to that in control animals. The importance ...
