Abstract

Intrapleural growth of transplanted rat tumours was prevented or retarded by intrapleural administration of double-stranded RNA. A similar suppression of growth was achieved with peitoneal tumours by the intraperitoneal injection of the compound. These studies indicate the possible potential of this form of treatment of thoracic and peritoneal tumours for clinical application in the treatment of mesothelioma.
