title: Chemotherapeutic trials with hamster mesothelioma 10-24: responses to azacitidine, aziridinylbenzoquinone, cisplatin, and PCNU.
abstract: Asbestos-induced peritoneal mesothelioma 10-24 serially transplanted in Syrian golden hamsters was used to test responses to seven drugs as single agents. Compared to saline-treated controls, the average survival time increased 51%-85% with azactitidine, 42%-60% with aziridinylbenzoquinone, 43% with cisplatin, and 35%-45% with PCNU. No cures were achieved. Therapeutic responses were not observed with dactinomycin, dianhydroxyanthracenedione, or DTIC.
