Abstract
Methylcholanthrene-induced sarcoma formation in mice was found to be effectively inhibited by the intraperitoneal injection of mistletoe extract (Iscador M). Induction of sarcoma and sarcoma-Induced death were inhibited completely at a concentration of 1 mg Iscador/dose. The concentration needed for 50% inhibition was found to be 0.0166 mg Iscador/ dose. Mistletoe extract was also found to inhibit lung metastasis induced by B16F10 melanoma cells in mice. Simultaneous administration of the Vlscum album extract inhibited lung nodule formation by 92.0% and produced a 71.3% increase In life span.Keywords
