| Résumé : | The RC tumor, originally a renal adenocarcinoma very sensitive to different classes of chemotherapeutic agents, maintained in CDF 1 mice, was examined for its ability to metastasize. When inoculated into the foot (with 107 tumor cells), bulky metastases developed in the popliteal and para-aortic lymph nodes, in a constant and reproducible pattern, producing a massive microscopic invasion of the liver, the lungs and the spleen. The antigenicity tests demonstrated a low immunogenicity of the tumor. Chemotherapy assays showed that adriamycin and vincristine were effective against metastatic dissemination when administered early after tumor cell inoculation and principally when combined with excision of the tumor-bearing leg. The RC model appears to be suitable for the study of lymph node metastasis and could be used in chemotherapy trials of new drugs potentially effective against metastases of the lymphatic system. © 1985 Taylor & Francis Ltd. |
