Gemcitabine is one of the preferred choices in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. A short-term test was conducted and the drug showed rapid and strong ability to detect toxicity or distorting the material studied in the neighborhood cells. Results showed that there are some changes in cell parameters which can be determined by cellular examination accurately. Exposing male inbred line SWR/J of laboratory mice to low dose of the drug (125 mg/kg) Gemcitabine individually and in combination affected significantly in different times intervals mitotic divisions and chromosomal aberrations and abnormalities. The severity of abnormalities was increased with the passage of treated time.
