Abstract |
The role of retroviruses as causal agents in animal and human neoplasms is reviewed. Based on previous studies done on retrovirus caused mouse mammary adenocarcinoma, it is suggested that a treatment regimen with 6-propylthiouracil, chloroquine phosphate and 5-fluorouracil (which resulted in 77% and 65% complete mouse tumor remission), may be effective in treating AIDS and other retrovirus-caused diseases.
