## BACKGROUND. Thyroid hormones are endocrine modulators of several vital processes that are crucial to tumor growth and differentiation. Several anecdotal reports in the literature suggest that some histologic types of carcinoma may remain in a dormant state for prolonged periods of time in patie
## Abstract The incidence of metastasis of xenogeneic tumors transplanted to nude mice is controversial. We studied 106 malignant human tumor lines in a total of 1,045 nude mice, and observed metastasis in only 14 instances (1.3%), involving 11 different tumor lines. Three of the lines showed repea
Taxanes such as paclitaxel (Taxol) and docetaxel (Taxotere) are promising agents for use against ovarian cancer and other malignancies. Recently, SB-T-1011, a semisynthetic taxane, has been prepared from 14-hydroxy-10-deacetylbaccatin III. SB-T-1011 shows similar or greater in vitro cytostatic activ
## Abstract In attempts to elucidate the factors determining individual differences in response of tumors to chemotherapeutic agents, the sensitivity of six human malignant melanomas growing in athymic, nude mice was studied. Six agents, __viz.__ DTIC, CCNU, vinblastine, procarbazine, as well as th
