Abstract
The x-ray dose required to cure half the mice bearing first generation transplanted mammary carcinomata 150 days after irradiation was determined. NDPP proved to be a relatively poor radiosensitizer in mice, for although a maximum enhancement ratio of 1-3 was obtained when x-rays produced from a 1-4 MeVp electron accelerator were given between 10 and 17 min after the administration of NDPP, this was at a drug concentration sufficient to cause marked kidney abnormalities in 5-10% of the mice.
