Abstract

Pre-operative X-irradiation of s.c. implanted first-generation mammary tumours in C3H mice, using either 500 rad or two fractions of 350 rad, produced no improvement in the success of surgery in causing local control or in reduction of distant metastases. The metastasis rate was just significantly higher after the two-fraction treatment of the implanted tumour than after surgical removal alone. The results are in agreement with previously published results on carcinomas and a sarcoma but contrast with those for murine lymphomas.
