Abstract
The primary objectives of test systems for the evaluation of antineoplastic agents include (a) the identification of new agents which may be active against clinical neoplasia, (b) the detailed investigation of the action of drugs on host-tumor parameters and of factors which may influence chemotherapeutic effectiveness, and (c) detailed pharmacologic, toxicologic, biochemical, virologic, immunologic, and other investigations of the basic mechanism of action of antitumor agents.
