Interaction between adriamycin and radiation in a solid murine tumor

Combinations of single and multiple doses of adriamycin and radiation were studied in EMT-6/Ro tumor-bearing BALB/cKa mice. The response to these chemotherapy-radiotherapy treatments was determined using a tumor growth delay assay. The single-dose was found to be additive for both a 2- and 120-hr interval between agents when changes in tumor size were accounted for. When a single dose, two equal doses, or multiple daily doses of adriamycin (all to the same total dose) were combined with a course of ten 200-rad fractions given in 12 days, the resultant tumor growth delays also were in keeping with an additive response between the two treatment modalities. However, in combination with fractionated radiotherapy, a large single dose of adriamycin was more effective than concurrent small daily adriamycin exposures.
