Abstract:Certain compounds capable of blocking the growth of cultured animal cells or causing them to lose viability upon prolonged exposure may have no apparent effect upon tumor growth in vivo, if administered by injection at widely spaced intervals, due to rapid inactivation, breakdown or excretion by organs of the mammalian host. Continuous infusion or repetitive infusion at shortly-spaced intervals of compounds of this sort into arterial blood supplying the tumor region holds out the prospect of achieving a prolon… Show more
