Effect of applied dc currents on experimental tumor growth in rats. 1980

M B Habal

Morris Hepatoma experimental tumor in ACI rats is treated with small anodal direct current via an implantable power pack unit. There was major retardation in tumor growth when the treatment was started early. There was enhancement of tumor growth when the treatment was started early and then was discontinued. There was no statistical difference in growth control of the experimental tumor when the electrotherapy was given after the half-life of the tumor was achieved. This last point will be the most important to the clinician scientist, for it simulates the clinical situation that faces the treating physician.
