title: [Heterogenous reaction of cancer cells to cisplatin].
abstract: During a study involving treatment of MCF-7 culture of mammary tumor cells with cisplatin 5.10, 15.20 and 25 microM, an inverse correlation was found between the first two doses and the number of dead cells; later on, this fraction diminished gradually to basal level. Conversely, the fraction of necrotized cells increased in proportion to dosage, overall toxicity of cisplatin (the sum total of dead cells) remaining unchanged when in excess of 10 microM.
