Therapeutic activity of mitoxantrone and ametantrone against murine tumors

Abstract Dr Schabel had intended to give this paper at the 13th International Chemotherapy Congress in Vienna but collapsed and died moments before he was due to deliver it. He had previously sent an abstract of the paper and copies of the slides with which he was going to illustrate it to one of the editors of Cancer Treatment Reviews and it was therefore possible to represent here the substance of the paper he could not give. For all those who knew Frank Schabel, his sudden death on Tuesday, 30 August 1983 came as a great shock. A memorial service in the presence of his widow and son was held for him in the Hofburg the following day. It was attended by many of his friends from the field of experimental cancer chemotherapy in which he toiled with such dedication and in which he made so many notable contributions. Moving addresses were given by K. Karrer, A. Goldin, J. Holland, E. J. Freireich and J. Montgomery.
