[Adaptability of the Gompertz equation to the growth kinetics of a transplantable experimental tumor].
We have carried out a study on the growth kinetics of a solid rat reticulosarcoma, by making use of the Gompertz equation. This approach is not sufficiently valid for the groups as a whole, but furnishes useful information when applied to individual tumors. In fact the values for relative (1/V dV/dt) and absolute (dV/dt) velocities calculated for individual tumors by making use of this equation, exhibit greater significance and consistency with respect to tumor-host integration.
