Possible relationship of chromosome abnormalities and gene amplification with effects of chemotherapy: a neuroblastoma xenograft study

Prog Clin Biol Res. 1985:175:171-80.

Abstract

The possible relationship of chromosome abnormalities and gene amplification with tumor growth and sensitivity to chemotherapy was studied in six human neuroblastomas transplanted in nude mice. Our results suggest that cells with DMs are more sensitive to Aclacinomycin A than those with HSRs.
