Abstract excerpt
A model for the evolution of hormone-independent tumors from a pregnancy-dependent precursor is exemplified by the TPDMT-4[pregnancy-dependent (PD)] and T4OI96 [ovarian-independent (OI)] in vivo tumor lines developed in DDD mice. In vivo, the OI tumor grows rapidly in virgin mice and is more anap...
