  • Title: Liver tumours and muscle relaxants. Electromyographic studies in children.
    Author: Brown TC, Gregory M, Bell B, Campbell PC.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1987 Dec; 42(12):1284-6. PubMed ID: 3434758.
    Abstract:
    Electromyographic studies of the onset of action of tubocurarine or alcuronium were performed on eight occasions in five patients who had liver masses. There was a slow onset of action and an increased dose requirement in those with malignant disease. Normal responses were found in a patient with benign nodular hyperplasia and in another where the malignant tumour was successfully treated with chemotherapy.
