title: [Experimental studies on combination chemotherapy of cisplatin with peplomycin against human squamous cell carcinomas in nude mice].
abstract: Combination chemotherapy of cisplatin (CDDP) with bleomycin (BLM) or peplomycin (PEP) has exhibited clinical efficacy against squamous cell carcinomas. The combination of CDDP with PEP was studied using five human squamous cell carcinomas in nude mice. When CDDP was administered before PEP treatment, the combination effect was more pronounced than when CDDP was administered after PEP treatment. Especially, when CDDP was administered 5 or 3 days before PEP treatment, marked delay in growth was shown in 4 out of the 5 human carcinomas. From these results, it is thought that human heterotransplanted tumors in nude mice may provide important information in studies of combination chemotherapy.
