The correlation between the tumor drug sensitivity and the degree of lymphocyte interphase nuclei chromatin damages induced by cisplatin in rats was found using sensitive and resistant to cisplatin variants of Guerin's carcinoma.

Lymphocyte chromatin structure remains unchanged in rats with cisplatin resistant carcinoma.
