ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On October 4, 1996, the Registrant's 57% owned subsidiary, Response
Oncology, Inc. (Response), acquired (the "Transaction") from The Center of
Hematology-Oncology, P.A., a Florida professional association (the "Seller")
certain of the assets (the "Acquired Assets") and liabilities of the Seller. 
The total consideration (the "Purchase Price") for the Acquired Assets was
approximately $13.8 million, approximately $8.4 million of which was paid in
cash, approximately $4.0 million paid in the form of Response's long-term
unsecured interest-bearing amortizing promissory note (the "Long-Term Note")
and the balance being paid by delivery of 105,552 shares of common stock of
Response (the "Response's Common Stock").  The quarterly payments of interest
and principal under the Long-Term Note may, at the election of the Seller,
acting through a duly-appointed attorney-in-fact, be paid in Response Common
Stock based on a conversion price in excess of the current market price of
Response's common stock.  The delivery of the Long-Term Note and the Response
Common Stock potentially issuable by Response in full or partial satisfaction
of the Long-Term Note have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
in reliance upon an exemption from such registration.

         The Acquired Assets were purchased by Response directly from the
Seller.  At the time of the Transaction, no stockholder of the Seller had a
material relationship with Response.  Upon consummation of the Transaction, the
Acquired Assets became assets of Response and include medical equipment, office
furnishings and fixtures, inventory and supplies, rights under a certain
sublease for certain office space, employee base and expertise, know-how in
respect of management of a medical practice in the oncology and hematology
specialty, computer systems, accounting books and records and other intangible
assets.  Such assets were historically used in the conduct by the Seller of a
group medical practice in the oncology and hematology specialty.  The
consideration paid for the Acquired Assets was based upon the Fair Market Value
of such assets.

         Simultaneous with the consummation of the Transaction, Response
entered into a long-term management services agreement (the "Service
Agreement") with the Seller providing for the management by Response of the
non-medical aspects of the practice thereafter conducted by the Seller.
Pursuant to the Service Agreement, Response will manage the non-medical aspects
of the Seller's business and will permit the Seller to use office space,
equipment and other assets owned or leased by Response in exchange for an
agreed-upon management fee.

         The cash portion of the Purchase Price was provided from the proceeds
of a convertible promissory note issued to the Registant, which owns a majority
of the outstanding common stock of Response.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS.

         Audited financial statements required to be filed pursuant to Rule
3-05 of Regulation S-X have been previously filed by Response as part of
Response's registration statement of Form S-2, Registration #333-08289, which
was filed on July 17, 1996.  It is impracticable for the Registrant to provide 
with this Current Report these audited financial statements, the interim
financial statements for the Seller required to be filed pursuant to Rule 3-05
of Regulation S-X and pro forma financial information required to be filed
pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X because all such financial statements
and information are presently not available.  Such financial statements and pro
forma financial information shall be filed as soon as it becomes available, but
in any event no later than December 6, 1996.
