Abstract
S-180 tumour bearing mice were subjected to 2-Methoxyestradiol (2ME)
and Cyclophosphamide (CP) monotherapy and 2ME and CP combination therapy on
7th day of ascetic tumour cell transplantation when the tumour growth was at log
phase. Then, the effect has been studied on host’s system in respect to dead cell –
living cell frequency, tumour volume, haemoglobin percentage, and differential count
of WBC. In 2ME and CP combination therapy, a steady increase in the dead cell or
non-living cell population was noted with the steady decrease in tumour volume.
Haematological studies from peripheral blood revealed a drastic depletion in
neutrophil count and elevation of lymphocyte population on the 12th day and 16th day
of tumour transplantation in combination therapy series. Moreover, the haemoglobin
concentration is more or less stable in combination therapy treatment series. So, the
2ME and CP combination therapy provides some protective compensatory
mechanisms in the body of the host.
