Abstract

It is the purpose of this chapter to summarize methods that are currently and potentially available to measure the kinetics of cancer cells and to review data that are available for specific human neoplasms. The chapter includes information that influences the planning of treatment as well as information that reflects the response to therapy. A variety of techniques, both in vitro and in vivo, that have been developed in animal tumor systems are now being applied to human neoplasms. Lightdale and Lipkin (1975) reviewed some of these methods in Volume 3 of this series. Although much information on the kinetics of animal tumor systems is available, the extrapolation of such data is often speculative and misleading. Accordingly, we will restrict our discussion to specific information derived from human tumors or methods that are potentially available.
