The survival rate of mice bearing P388 leukemia and Ehrlich carcinoma was increased after treatment with a mixture of vitamins C and B<sub>12</sub>. All the mice receiving the vitamins outlived the control group. At the termination of the experiment, 30 days later, 50% of the treated mice appeared normal and healthy, whereas the remainder showed signs of tumor distention.
