Cancer research, 1964•AACRTreatment of transplanted tumors of the hamster with nonpathogenic clostridia were
reported. The intravenously injected spores germinated in the tumors and produced within
very few days an extensive or complete lysis of the tumor. A cure or increase in survival time
has not been obtained so far. The possibilities and limitations of this novel biological tumor
treatment have been discussed.
