Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of a cancerous growth affects in certain changes on epidermal mitotic activity of the host animal.
A decrease in the epidermal mitotic activity and the relationship between tumour growth and epidermal mitotic activity was observed in mice bearing transplanted Ehrlich ascites tumour.
Decrease in the epidermal mitotic activity was more significant when the tumour was ascitic than was solid. A significant decrease in the epidermal mitotic activity was also observed in the ears of mice when they received toxohormone injection at 24 hours.
