Lewis lung tumour growth and metastases in nude mice
Chapter
Abstract
Two major characteristics unique to malignant tumours are their invasive and metastatic properties. Only in vivo models can effectively aid in understanding the mechanism of these phenomena. This does not exclude, however, in-vitro studies based upon in-vivo observations.
