title: [Combined use of metronidazole and short-term hyperglycemia during radiation therapy of tumors in rats].
abstract: A simultaneous combined treatment with metronidazole and short-term hyperglycaemia, in contrast to application of each of these agents alone, enhanced considerably the therapeutic effect of radiation (a single and fractionated exposure). This was indicated by the increased rate of tumor regression, the number of animals with transient remission, and the number of cured animals which exhibited no relapse throughout the entire 90-day period of observation.
