Tumor cells adhere to intraperitoneal injection sites
Abstract:
Tumor cells injected intraperitoneally form cell plaques at injection sites in the abdominal wall of mice within a few minutes. Tumor cells appear to be transported passively and chemotactic factors are not involved. Dihydrocortisol blocks cell adherence and silica particles , assumed to destroy macrophages, abolish cell plaque formation.
