    Notes: Summary We analyzed the results of clinical studies on the therapeutic efficacy of hormone monotherapy with tamoxifen, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and aminoglutethimide in metastatic breast cancer, which were published between 1971 and 1986 and involved altogether 7000 patients. The overall response rates in patients treated with these hormonal single agents at various dose levels ranged from 31%–42%. When only estrogen receptor-positive patients were considered, the response rates lay between 41% and 54% in groups which were treated with the antiestrogenic agents tamoxifen or aminoglutethimide. The duration of remission was 12 months for tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated women, whereas medroxy-progesterone acetate effected remissions lasting from 6–16 months. The overall mean survival from start of therapy in tamoxifen- and aminoglutethimide-treated groups was 20 months, whereas information concerning this therapeutic parameter was available only in a minority of medroxyprogesterone acetate-treated groups. With respect to the response by site of metastatic lesions, all three agents caused a significantly higher degree of remissions in the soft tissue as compared to visceral disease.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die homologe Reihe der Alkyl-Acetoxymethyl-Nitrosamine wurden auf ihre carcinogene Wirkung an SD Ratten getestet. Alle Verbindungen induzieren bei oraler Gabe innerhalb der gleichen Zeit Vormagentoumoren. Die benötigten Gesamtdosen sind dabei abhängig von der Länge der Alkyl-Kette und damit der Wasserlöslichkeit. Diese Ergebnisse werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The homologons alkyl-acetoxymethyl-nitrosamines were tested for carcinogenicity in SD rats. All compounds were found to be carcinogenic and induced within the same time carcinomas of the forestomach. The total doses necessary for induction of tumors are related to the length of the alkyl chain and hence to the watersolubility. These results are discussed.

    Notes: Summary In a lifetime experiment benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) was administered to Sprague-Dawley rats either as an admixture to the diet or by gavage in an aqueous 1.5% caffeine solution. Dissolved benzo(a)pyrene induced more tumors of the forestomach than undissolved benzo(a)pyrene. The 1.5% caffeine solution (annual dose 27 g/kg) did not exert any carcinogenic activity under the conditions of this bioassay.

    Notes: Summary Nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs such as indomethacin may play an important role in preventing the development of chemically induced experimental carcinomas of various organs including the large bowel in rats and mice. This effect might correlate with an inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis by these drugs. Sprague-Dawley rats were given three intrarectal doses of 4 mg N-nitrosomethyl-urea (MNU) within week 1 to induce large-bowel carcinomas. The experimental groups of rats received a 0.001% aqueous solution of indomethacin ad libitum as drinking water for days 1–8 and/or a subcutaneous injection of 500 μg/kg body weight of PGE2 immediately before and 2 h after each MNU dose. They were then maintained on basal diet and plain tap water without further treatment. At autopsy at week 31, the tumor incidence and the mean number of tumors per rat were 90% and 1.7 in untreated rats, 67% and 0.8 in indomethacin-treated rats, and 79% and 1.2 in indomethacin+PGE2-treated rats, respectively. The data indicate that indomethacin reduced the number of large-bowel tumors, while pharmacologic doses of PGE2 failed to reestablish the anticarcinogenic activity of indomethacin. It was concluded that a tolerable therapeutic dose of indomethacin can reduce the carcinogenic activity of MNU in the large bowel.

    Notes: Summary The results of clinical studies dealing with first and second line chemotherapy of metastatic breast cancer published between 1975 and early 1986 which involved 9350 women were reviewed. Our special aim was to evaluate combination chemotherapy and its influence on overall survival in late stage breast cancer patients. No significant improvement in overall survival times was found in this selected group of patients who were treated with intense palliative chemotherapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Three thousand Yoshida sarcoma cells were inoculated into the wall of the descending colon of each of 120 male Sprague-Dawley rats. On day 8 after the tumor implantation, the animals were at random divided into four groups of 30 rats each. The effect of cyclophosphamide (70 mg/kg), BCNU (25 mg/kg), and methyl-CCNU (45 mg/kg) after single i.p. application was investigated. The Yoshida sarcoma transplanted into the colon is sensitive to all three chemotherapeutic drugs. At the doses given cyclophosphamide showed the best results. The two nitrosoureas had a comparable antitumor activity but methyl-CCNU showed a more distinct toxic effect. The introduction of this model for testing new cytostatics in animal experiments is discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Einhundertzwanzig männlichen Sprague-Dawley-Ratten wurden jeweils 3000 Zellen eines Yoshida-Sarkoms in die Wand des Colon descendens verimpft. Am 8. Tag nach der Tumorimplantation wurden die Tiere randomisiert in vier Versuchsgruppen von jeweils 30 Ratten aufgeteilt. Die Wirkung von Cyclophosphamid (70 mg/kg), BCNU (25 mg/kg) und Methyl-CCNU (45 mg/kg) bei einmaliger i.p. Gabe wurde untersucht. Das ins Colon transplantierte Yoshida-Sarkom ist gegeüber allen drei Chemotherapeutika sensibel. Bei den gewählten Dosierungen zeigte Cyclophosphamide die günstigsten Ergebnisse. Die beiden Nitrosoharnstoffe waren in ihrer Antitumoraktivität vergleichbar, während bei Methyl-CCNU die toxischen Wirkungen sich als ausgeprägter erwiesen. Der Einsatz des Modells im Rahmen der tierexperimentellen Prüfung neuer Cytostatika wird diskutiert.

    Notes: Summary Tumors of the forestomach were induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by oral application of acetoxymethyl-methylnitrosamine (AMMN) in single weekly doses of 3.5 mg/kg body weight for 10 weeks. 100±5 days after the beginning of carcinogen treatment exploratory laparotomy was performed. One hundred animals in the same stage of tumor development were divided at random into one control group and four groups treated with cytostatics. Bleomycin (BLM), methotrexate (MTX), 5-fluorouracil (5FU), and 1,2-bis-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) were tested in groups of 20 rats each. Only in animals receiving repeated doses of BLM a slight tumor response was observed but no increase in median survival times was seen. No therapeutic effects of the other drugs used were demonstrable.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Anwendung der Hyperthermie zur Cytostase wird seit langem diskutiert. In der letzten Zeit stellte sich die Frage, ob durch eine Kombination der Chemotherapie mit der Hyperthermie die Erfolgsaussichten verbessert werden können. Zur experimentellen Überprüfung dieser Hypothese verwendeten wir einen gastrointestinalen Impftumor. Yoshida-Sarkom-Asci teszellen wurden in einer Konzentration von 2 x 106 in das Colon descendens von 101 Sprague-Dawley-Ratten implantiert. Gleichzeitig wurde ein doppel läufiger Anus praeter angelegt. Am 6. Tage nach Operation erfolgte die Chemotherapie, 24h danach eine lokale Hyperthermie, welche mittels einem in das stillgelegte Colon descendens eingeführten Silikonschlauch durchgeführt wurde. Die erreichte Temperatur betrug im Tumor 43 ± 0,5°C. Akute toxische Wirkungen der Hyperthermie wurden nicht beobachtet, ein Anstieg der Körpertemperatur konnte durch Kühlung im Normbereich gehalten werden. Anhand der Überlebenszeitkurven zeigten sich statistisch gesicherte Unterschiede zwischen den Gruppen mit Chemotherapie und der Kontrollgruppe, eine additive Wirkung der Hyperthermie konnte aber nicht aufgezeigt werden. Die alleinige Anwendung der Hyperthermie zeigte ebenso keinen Vorteil gegenüber der Kontrolle. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die Skepsis über die therapeutische Wirksamkeit der Hyperthermie und unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit zur weiteren Überprüfung im klinisch orientierten Tierversuch.
    Notes: Summary. The application of hyperthermia in cytostatic therapy has been discussed for a long time. Recently the question arose whether the chances of therapy might be improved by combining chemotherapy with hyperthermia. We used an inoculated gastrointestinal tumor to verify this hypothesis experimentally. 2 x 106 Yoshida sarcoma ascites cells were implanted in the descending colon of 101 Sprague-Dawley rats. A preternatural anus with two lumina was established concomitantly. Chemotherapy started on day 6 after surgery. 24 h later local hyperthermia was applied by means of a silicone tube inserted in the immobilized descending colon. The temperature in the tumor was raised to 43 ± 0.5°C. No acute toxic effects of hyperthermia were noted. The body temperature was kept from rising above normal by cooling. The differences in survival time between the chemotherapeutically treated groups and the control group were statistically validated. Additional hyperthermia did not result in additive effects. No advantage of hyperthermia alone was noted over the control. The results support scepticism about the therapeutic efficacy of hyperthermia and underline the necessity of further investigations in clinically adapted animal experiments.
