β¦ Synopsis
The [ 4-( 5-nitro-Z-furyl)-Z-tbiazoyl] formamide (FANIT)-induced urotbelial tumor in the rat is found to express the mdr gene. The resulting multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype results in the expression of an outward transport system that prevents cellular accumulation of certain weakly cationic agents. Among the latter is a photosensitizer with known efficacy for the FANFT tumor, the copper benzochlorin iminium salt. FANFI cells are protected from direct cell kill mediated by this drug, suggesting that the substantial delay in tumor regrowth from this tumor/sensitizer combination can be attributed to vascular effects.

## Abstract This report presents the experience with single and combination chemotherapy in the Noble rat prostatic adenocarcinoma model. The best single agent in treatment of these tumors is cyclophosphamide, the best combination was triple drug therapy cyclophosphamide, cisβplatiβnum, and adriamy
