UFT is a carcinostatic agent used in adjuvant chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. In the present study. UFT was given orally to treat tongue carcinoma in rats induced by 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide. The antitumor effects of UFT were studied macroscopically and histologically. In addition, the antitumor effects of UFT were evaluated in relationship to lesions of the clinical and, invasive types, and to there vascular structure. In clinical lesions, the antitumor effect of UFT was higher in extrovert tumor-mass lesions and lower in ulcerous lesions. With regard to vascular structure, the effect was higher in cases demonstrating irregular net-like patterns and branch-like patterns and lower in cases in which the pattern had been destroyed. There was a correlation between antitumor effect and invasive type. As invasive tendency the 3H-thymidine labeling index, and mitotic index increased, antitumor effect and degree of tumor cell degeneration decreased.
