A stochastic model for the chemotherapy of experimental tumors is presented. The focus of this model is on the presence of drug-resistant mura~ts and their in~uence on eventual treatment outcome. Equations are derived for the joint probability-generating function for the number of chemo-sensitive an

Valproic acid (VPA, 2-propylpentanoic acid) is an established drug in the long-term therapy of epilepsy. During the past years, it has become evident that VPA is also associated with anti-cancer activity. VPA not only suppresses tumor growth and metastasis, but also induces tumor differentiation in
Methoxymorpholino doxorubicin (MMRDX) is an anthracycline analogue that is able to overcome tumor cell resistance to classical anthracyclines. Mechanisms for increased MMRDX cytotoxicity were analyzed in a small cell lung carcinoma cell line (GLC 4 ), its 300-fold doxorubicin-resistant and multidrug
