Cell kinetic directed chemotherapy was dismissed some years ago based on the failure of treatment strategies that assumed tumor cell proliferation in vivo to be a random process independent of, or unentrained by, the stable, endogenous rhythmicity of the host.'" One consequence of this failure to understand the circadian modulation of cell kinetics has been the evolution of treatment strate-gies away from cell cycle specific drugs and toward drugs, such as Adriamycin, that have prolonged terminal half-lives. A new and equally serious problem comes from the movement toward drug delivery regimens that attempted to achieve constant high levels of anticancer agents around the clock. This latter strategy subverts not only the chronobiology of cell kinetics but the chronopharmacology of drug toxicity. Finally, many anticancer drugs are powerful phase-shifting agents. It can be argued that such phase perturbation may act to increase drug resistance through overreplication of early replicating DNA, and that attention to timing and the use of drugs that are not phase-shifting agents may minimize the development of resistance.What is often, and mistakenly we believe, taken to be the basis for dismissing cell kinetic approaches to cancer chemotherapy are fractional labeling studies, where the fraction of labeled nuclei, or labeled metaphase cells, is scored autoradiographically. More recently Sphase estimates from one or a few flow cytometric DNA histograms have replaced labeling methods but have not applied chronobiologic principles to their interpretation. Fractional labeling studies in which" HdT or other DNA precursors are given at one or a few times of day, rarely if ever specify those times." This approach will yield the fraction of cells that are replicating at that time and, if the curve for labeled metaphases is followed, the chromosome replication cycle time of the cohort of cells in Sphase when the label was added. In spite of the fact that there may be great differences in the number of cells replicating DNA between morning and evening, the fraction of labeled metaphase (FLM) curves are similar even though S phase transit times are length-ened." In very actively proliferating tissues, usually in vitro, where each daughter cell of the original labeled cell begins DNA synthesis in the minimum possible time, a good estimate of cell cycle duration may be obtained. In the case where
