Comparative studies between the in vitro human tumor clonogenic assay (HTCA) and our original in vivo method (NM-IA) in which the final evaluation was made with 3H-TdR incorporation of tumor cells transplanted into nude mice were simultaneously performed on 44 fresh human solid tumors (22 gastric cancers, 6 breast cancers, 4 gall bladder cancers, 4 liposarcomas and 8 other tumors). Mitomycin C (MMC), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), adriamycin (ADM) and cyclophosphamide (CPM) were tested. The evaluable rate was 73% (32/44) in HTCA and 89% (38/44) in NM-IA. Although correlation between the results of HTCA and those of MN-IA was obtained for MMC and ADM, no correlation was observed for 5-FU and CPM.
