[Effects of induced hyperglycemia on metastasis of Lewis pulmonary carcinoma]

The effect of induced hyperglycemia on the intensity of metastatic spreading of Lewis lung carcinoma was investigated in experiments on mice. Neither long-, nor short-term hyperglycemia, induced at different phases of dissemination, influenced the intensity of metastatic spreading, primary tumor growth, the time of appearance of metastases, and the average life duration of tumor-bearing animals.
