Bleomycin, an antitumor antibiotic, was effective in temporarily reducing the size of a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in a ferret. The tumor had recurred after previous excision and had metastasized to the right submandibular lymph node. The ferret was treated without effect at a dosage of 10 U/m2, sc, once a week. The dosage was increased to 20 U/m2 once a week, and reduction of tumor size was observed.
