We started investigations on intratumoral oxygen tension after irradiations with reactor fission neutrons using the Eppendorf-pO2 Histograph(R). Isotransplanted AT17-mammary carcinomas on C3H-mice and osteosarcomas OTS-64 on balb C-mice received 2 or 6 Gy neutrons single dose. Before and at certain points of time after treatment the pO2 values were evaluated. Some tumors with initially low median pO2 values showed a short- lasting increase between 2 and 24 h after irradiation. In those tumors with relatively high pretherapeutic pO2 values the pO2 decreased to the range of hypoxia. A third group of tumors showed no marked changes after irradiation. No tumor stopped growth during the observation period.
