Experimental models of lymphatic metastasis

  • Chapter
Tumor Invasion and Metastasis

Part of the book series: Developments in Oncology ((DION,volume 7))

Abstract

The common human cancers spread by lymphatic metastasis [1], but most experimental work on metastasis has been done with models of hematogenous metastasis since this occurs much more readily in animal systems. The classic work on lymphatic metastasis was that of Zeidman and Buss [2], but until 1970 the field was relatively unexplored. The present chapter describes work over a number of years on experimental lymphatic metastasis. Fuller reviews of the work of others have been published elsewhere [3, 4].
