Metastatic abilities of murine sarcomas and carcinomas. II. Relationship to cell volume and DNA index.

摘要: The cell volume and DNA content were determined in 12 murine tumors correlated with the ability of these to metastasize spontaneously or form lung nodules when injected i.v. significantly spontaneous metastatic potential investigated (r = 0.683; 0.02 less than P 0.05) but not tumor cells artificial metastasis. index both metastasis 0.594; 0.05), colonization 0.631; 0.05). barely 0.564; 0.10).
