title: Alteration in natural resistance of sarcoma 180 tumor to Bouvardin (NSC 259968) following hyperthermia.
abstract: Sarcoma-180 (S-180) tumor cells grown in Swiss mice displayed natural resistance to Bouvardin (NSC 259968) when administered alone in a single dose or in multiple doses. Hyperthermia treatment (43 degrees C for 1 hr) alone did not show any tumor growth reduction. However, the drug combined with hyperthermia markedly reduced tumor growth suggesting that hyperthermia alters the natural resistance of S-180 cells to Bouvardin.
