[Animal experiment comparison of the therapeutic efficacy of tumor excision with a scalpel or with a CO2 laser in subcutaneously implanted Lewis lung cancer].

An animal experimental study was carried out in order to compare the therapeutical value of two different surgical methods for excising the subcutaneous implanted Lewis lung carcinoma - tumor excision with scalpel or with carbon dioxide laser. The radicalism of operation methods, the survival time, and the tumor local recurrences were performed. The therapeutic effectivity of tumor excision with the carbon dioxide laser is more favourable than the scalpel method.

Recent results with clinically used antineoplastic drugs and drug combinations in vivo.

Using four mouse tumor systems--leukemia L1210, i.m. mammary carcinoma 1142A, Lewis lung carcinoma, metastatic model of the mammary carcinoma 1142A--a combined treatment consisting of vincristine--cyclophosphamide--metrotrexate--5-fluorouracil is superior to a combined treatment with carminomycin--dibromodulcitol. The treatment with carminomycin and dibromodulcitol in each case alone causes therapeutic benefits being superior to a treatment with the combination carminomycin--dibromodulcitol. This result could be stated for all tumor systems used. Carminomycin showed the greatest effectivity against the leukemia L1210. A human tumor nude mouse system--ascitic mesothelioma 1503A--is presented which is suitable for chemotherapeutic experiments. First test results indicated an antineoplastic effectivity after daunoblastin treatment, but cyclophosphamide and carminomycin did not influence the life span.

[Therapeutic effectiveness of carminomycin (CRM) in combination with dibromodulcitol (DBD) compared with the combination vincristine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil (VCMF) on some tumor systems (author's transl)].

The antineoplastic effectivity of VCMF was compared with the combined therapy CRM plus DBD in the mouse tumor systems L1210, 1142 A and Lewis lung carcinoma. Therapy of tumor-bearing mice was carried out by administering doses on the basis of LD 10 or with doses directly calculated from the clinical study CMEA 0102. In the most of all experiments VCMF was superior to the combination CRM plus DBD.
