Item 1.      Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 11 ("Amendment No. 11") to  
Schedule 13D concerns the common stock, par value $.01 per 
share ("Common Stock") of Response Oncology, Inc. (formerly 
named Response Technologies, Inc.) ("Response"), whose 
principal executive offices are at 1775 Moriah Woods Boulevard, 
Memphis, Tennessee  38117.   Amendment No. 11  amends an 
original report (the "Original Report") on Schedule 13D 
respecting a purchase of shares of Common Stock on October 31, 
1990, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, dated 
August 2, 1991 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 
13D, dated November 11, 1991 ("Amendment No. 2"), Amendment No. 
3 to Schedule 13D, dated June 9, 1992  ("Amendment No. 3"), 
Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D dated, August 4, 1992  
("Amendment No. 4"), Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D, dated May 
13, 1993 ("Amendment No. 5"),  Amendment No. 6  to Schedule 
13D, dated February 17, 1995 ("Amendment No. 6"),  Amendment

(collectively, Amendments No.1, No. 2, No.3, No. 4, No. 5, 
No.6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 are sometimes referred to 
as the "Prior Amendments").  The Issuer is the same Issuer 
referred to in the Original Report and in the Prior Amendments; 
the current name of the Issuer reflects a change effective 
November 1995.  The Common Stock is  the same class of stock 
reported on in the Original Report and in the Prior Amendments; 
the par value of the Common Stock was changed in November 1995 
as a result of a 1 for 5 reverse stock split.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

This report is filed by Seafield Capital Corporation 
("Seafield") (formerly named BMA Corporation).  Seafield is a 
Missouri corporation; the address of its principal executive 
office is 5000 West 95th Street, Suite 260, P.O. Box 7568, 
Shawnee Mission, Kansas 66207.   Seafield is a holding company 
engaged through its subsidiaries in various activities.  Its 
principal interests are its 82% owned subsidiary, LabOne, Inc. 
(formerly named Home Office Reference Laboratory, Inc.), a 
provider of clinical, substance abuse and insurance laboratory 
testing services whose offices are located at 10310 West 84th 
Terrace, Lenexa, Kansas  66214, and its interest in Response.  
Seafield also owns  certain short-term and intermediate-term 
investment grade securities.  On March 3, 1997, Seafield 
distributed to its shareholders all outstanding shares of a 
subsidiary company (i.e., SLH Corporation) which now owns all 
of those oil and gas, venture capital and real estate 
investments previously owned by Seafield.

Set forth in Schedule 1 hereto are the names, 
business addresses and principal occupations or employment of 
the executive officers and directors of Seafield.  Each person 
listed on Schedule 1 is a United States citizen.

During the past five years, neither Seafield nor to 
its  knowledge, any of the persons identified in Schedule 1 has 
been  (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding, or (ii) a party 
to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body as a 
result of which such person was or is subject to  a judgment, 
decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or 
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or 
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to 
such laws. 

Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

No amendment to this Item.

Item 4.     Purpose of the Transaction.

By a Press Release issued February 26, 1997, Seafield 
indicated that it might distribute to its shareholders all of 
its shares of Response Common Stock.  On June 3, 1997, Response 
filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission ("SEC") respecting, among other things, a 
distribution to Seafield shareholders of all shares of Response 
Common Stock owned by Seafield.  The Registration Statement was 
filed pursuant to certain registration rights under Section 5.1 
of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 
26, 1990 between Response and Seafield (the "Securities 
Purchase Agreement").  On July 1, 1997, that Registration 
Statement was declared effective by the SEC and Seafield's 
Board of Directors declared a dividend to its shareholders of 
record as of July 11, 1997, payable July 25, 1997, in the form 
of all shares of Response Common Stock owned by Seafield; the 
distribution ratio will be approximately 1.24 shares of 
Response Common Stock for each share of Seafield common stock 
outstanding (i.e., 6,489,103). 
          
Seafield has stated in the Original Report and the 
Prior Amendments that, except for rights granted to Seafield in 
the Securities Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit (a) to 
Amendment No. 6,  which rights are no longer material, it had 
no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in 
(i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of 
Response, or the disposition of securities of Response; (ii) an 
extraordinary corporate transaction involving Response or any 
of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material 
amount of assets of Response or any of its subsidiaries; 
(iv) any change in the present board of directors or management 
of Response; (v) any material change in the present 
capitalization or dividend policy of Response; (vi) any other 
material change in Response's business or corporate structure; 
(vii) any change in Response's charter or bylaws which may 
impede the acquisition of control of Response by any person; 
(viii) causing a class of Response's securities to be delisted 
from a national securities exchange or to cease to be 
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of 
a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of 
equity securities of Response being eligible for termination of 
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934; or (x) any act similar to any of those 
enumerated above.  The foregoing statement remains accurate, 
except as otherwise set forth herein, with respect to 
Seafield's intent to distribute all shares of Response Common 
Stock owned by it to its shareholders, or in the Prior 
Amendments.

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           (a), (b), (c) and (d)

Seafield beneficially owns  8,077,392 shares of Response 
Common Stock.   Seafield has sole power to vote and dispose of 
all of such shares.  The number of shares beneficially owned 
by Seafield constitutes approximately 67.5% of Response's 
outstanding Common Stock, calculated in accordance with 
Exchange Act Rule 13d-3(d)(1).  This percentage does not 
reflect shares subject to issue upon exercise of warrants, 
stock options or upon conversion of shares of Series A 
Convertible Preferred Stock of Response presently outstanding 
and owned by persons other than Seafield.

Certain of the persons named in Schedule 1 are known 
by Seafield to beneficially own shares of Response stock.  To 
Seafield's knowledge, these shares were acquired by such 
persons solely for investment purposes and  such persons have 
sole power to vote and dispose of such shares.  Seafield 
disclaims any beneficial ownership in any of such shares.  The 
persons known to Seafield to beneficially own such shares and 
the number of such shares beneficially owned by such persons 
(with an indication of the shares which there is a right to 
acquire) are as follows:

         Name                    Number of Shares

    Joseph T. Clark                 213,349
    W. Thomas Grant, II              11,400
    P. Anthony Jacobs                15,400
    James R. Seward                  15,400
                           
Of  the number of shares shown above, the following numbers 
consist of options which the indicated individuals have the 
right to exercise either presently or within 60 days:  for  
Joseph T. Clark, 177,652; for W. Thomas Grant II, 11,000; for P. 
Anthony Jacobs, 11,000 and for James R. Seward, 11,000.

           (e)     Not Applicable.

Item 6.     Contracts, Arrangements, Understanding or 
Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

No Amendment to this item.

Item 7.     Exhibits.

None.
