[Cyto- and histomorphologic changes in the Jensen sarcoma exposed to cisplatin, radiotherapy and combination treatment].

Abstract

Puncture-cytological and histomorphological investigation results are presented in transplanted tumor Jensen sarcoma. The tested tumors did not respond to therapy in growth reaction and reached a quarter of the body mass of the experimental animals on day 18 post transplantation. Within the five groups (untreated, cisplatin daily 0.6 mg/kg b.w., irradiated with 2 Gy S. D., 20 Gy T. D. only, and 2 groups combined therapy cisplatin and irradiation) cytological differences were shown between the several therapeutic groups already at therapy day 7 in spite of similar growth reaction, but not between centre and periphery of tumors, that were marked more distinctly and confirmed in histomorphological picture at the end of therapy at day 18 p.t. The increased occurrence of giant cells with many nuclei and leukocytic inflammation reaction seem to be a typical picture for combined therapy.
