The sensitivity to cytotoxic agents of the EMT6 tumor in vivo. Comparative response of lung nodules in rapid expotential growth and of the solid flank tumour.

Experiments are described in which dose-response data have been obtained for EMT6 mouse tumour cells growing in vivo and exposed to various cytotoxic agents. A comparison has been made of the response of solid tumours in the flank and of rapidly growing lung nodules. The results are discussed with regard to their cell kinetic implications and compared with our results for the chemosensitivity of EMT6 cells in exponential and plateau phase growth in vitro.
