During an initial 60 day period treatment with Bleomycin alone produced an excellent anticancer effect and also provided a marked life prolonging effect when compared with control. These effects in the Bleomycin + Glutathione group were no better than in the control group. 4) Past the 60th day of treatment (after 30 doses of Bleomycin or Glutathione were given) fatalities occurred frequently in the Bleomycin group due to the drug toxicity, while in the Bleomycin + Glutathione group a greater increment of survival time was attained due to a detoxifying effect of Glutathione.}, pages = {81--91}, title = {Interaction between Bleomycin and Glutathione in Cancer-Bearing Animals}, volume = {40}, year = {1978} }
