Abstract excerpt

Using variant B16 metastatic melanomas, attempts were made to explore the effects of both genetic and metabolic environmental factors in vivo as well as in vitro, on specific steps in the metastatic process. Metastases of the progenitor tumour in black C57BL/6J mice arose from a stable, heritable...
