Heat-sensitivity of the Harding-Passey melanoma.
We have shown that the Harding-Passey melanoma is heat-sensitive. Its heat-sensitivity increases as the tumor develops in the host. Excision achieved a higher percentage of long-term cure than hyperthermia, during the time period of tumor development studied in these experiments, but did not give the host long-term protection from subsequent tumor challenge.
