Abstract

Glycyrramum was shown to potentiate the antitumor and antimetastatic effects of cyclophosphamide treatment in mice and rats with transplantable tumors. It also decreased its myelotoxicity. After primary Lewis lung carcinoma was removed glycyrramum treatment significantly inhibited metastacizing processes in mice.
