Cell proliferation in human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC) of the skin, a fairly slow-growing locally invasive tumor that occasionally matastasizes, was studied in 12 patients in vivo with the use of intralesional tritiated thymidine as a marker for cell proliferation kinetics. Analysis of the cell cycle of the germinative population revealed that the duration of S-phase was 12.5 hours; G1-phase, 28.8 hours; mitotic period (M-phase), 2 hours; G-pahse, 6.9 hours; and the total germinative cell cycle, 50.2 hours. The application of cell kinetics to programming chemotherapy for skin cancer with phase-specific cytotoxins was discussed.[1]References
