[A sensitivity test of UFT and FT-207 against human pulmonary cancer using nude mice]

Transplanted tumors of human pulmonary adenocarcinoma subcutaneously into nude mice were used, to investigate the effect UFT and FT-207. Concentration of 5-FU and uracil in tumors, measured by the gas chromatographic-mass fragment graphic method, was followed. 5-FU concentration in UFT group were higher than other group, and uracil concentration show no significant difference. In one of the lines, tumor growth was stopped in UFT group and regression rate was 68% in comparison with control group, pathologically revealed grade II b in classification of Simosato-Oohoshi. It was also indicated in this experiment, anticancer effect is related with specific anticancer drug sensitivity.
