In this paper we establish the existence of solutions of a more general class of stochastic integral equation of Volterra type. The main tools used here are the measure of noncompactness and the fixed point theorem of Darbo. The results generalize the results of Tsokos and Padgett [9] and Szynal and Wedrychowicz [7]. An application to a stochastic model arising in chemotherapy is discussed.
