Abstract

Nb rat autonomous prostatic adenocarcinomas were transplanted into several groups of synergeneic Nb rats. Chemotherapy using 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate, Adriamycin, and cyclophosphamide was evaluated. Significance was seen with the use of these agents with varying doses. Cyclophosphamide and 5-fluorouracil treated animals had complete tumor regression whereas Adriamycin and methotrexate treated animals had cessation of tumor volume increase in some groups after chemotherapy; however, neither agent causes complete tumor regression.
