In the experiment on tumor growth, the rate of growth decreased with the lapse of time following tumor inoculation. The generation time of the 2-day old tumor was approximately 12 hours; that of the 6-day old tumor was approximately 42 hours. There were also significant differences in the DNA labeling index and mitotic index between the 2-day old and the 6-day old tumors, which were correlated with their generation times. Mitomycin-C affected more markedly the growth of the 2-day old fast growing tumor than that of the 6-day old tumor. Enhanced antitumor activity of the carcinostatic agent was seen when the drug was used during the rapidly growing stage of the Ehrlich ascites tumor.}, pages = {307--314}, title = {The Effects of the Carcinostatic Agents on the Cell Cycle of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Cells}, volume = {33}, year = {1971} }
