title: Growth inhibition of sarcoma 180 induced by silica and talc.
abstract: In applying amorphous silica and talc in the site of solid Sarcoma 180 implants, the authors found a suppression and delay of tumor growth which was proveked by peritumoral foreign-body granulomas. Correlating these findings which those experiments which resulted in granulomas of hypersensitivity type, it may be suggested that any kind of peritumoral chronic inflammation enables an anti-tumor effect.
