The influence of tumour resection on angiostatin levels and tumour growth — an experimental study in tumour-bearing mice

The phenomenon of primary neoplasms inhibiting the growth of their metastatic lesions is thought to be related to endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the influence of tumour resection on angiostatin levels and tumour growth using a tumour-bearing mouse model. A primary Lewis lung cancer tumour model was established in C57BL/6 mice and these mice were divided into two groups 10 days after the tumour...
