The effect of Chlormadinone on the proliferation of Ehrlich ascites tumour was studied by employing the stathmokinetic method. In a high percentage of female mice carrying the tumour and treated by Chlormadinone an increase in tumour cell proliferation was observed, while in a few animals the proliferative activity was decreased.

No significant changes were observed in tumour cell proliferation in the male mice.
