title: [Effect of peplomycin by continuous infusion on Ehrlich carcinoma].
abstract: The effect of peplomycin by three different treatment schedules was studied in mice bearing Ehrlich Effeit of carcinoma. continuous i.p. infusion of peplomycin via an osmotic minipump was compared to those by intermittent injection and daily injection. Equivalent total doses of the drug were administered in all three schedules. Continuous infusion for 7 days produced marked inhibition of tumor growth, which was significantly better than intermittent injection or daily injection of the same total dose. The effect of bleomycin by continuous infusion was significantly better than that by intermittent injection, but was as equally effective was daily injection. The results indicate that the continuous infusion of peplomycin is a useful treatment method.
