Abstract The development of a transplantable tumor (Zajdela ascitic hepatoma) is studied in pregnant rats. Pregnancy is shown to retard tumor growth and influence its course. It prolongs the survival of tumor-bearing rats and induces total regression of the tumor in 15–20% of cases; pregnancy causes the ascitic growth to be transformed into a solid form, and prevents the development of hemorrhagic ascites.
