On the enhancement of oncolytic effect of laser radiation by means of fast electrons.
Non-inbred albino mice were inoculated subcutaneously or intraperitoneally with Ehrlich carcinoma cells pre-exposed in vitro either to different doses of laser radiation or to fast electrons alone, or to both agents. The statistical data on the latency of tumors, their weights (subcutaneous inoculation) and the survival time in group "laser + electrons" (intraperitoneal inoculation) were found to differ considerably from those for the mice inoculated with the ascitic tumor cells pre-exposed either to laser radiation or fast electrons alone. The enhancement of the oncolytic effect of laser radiation combined with fast electrons is gained through the addition of the effects of each of these agents.
