Differential Patterns of Vasculature to Liver Tumours

An angiographic study of the vasculature of Vx2 tumour deposits in the rabbit's liver is described. Tumours transplanted from donor rabbits within less than 2 weeks incubation, developed into an amorphic infiltrating tumour, characterized by a rich arterial network. Tumours harvested after 3 we...

Sumario:An angiographic study of the vasculature of Vx2 tumour deposits in the rabbit's liver is described. Tumours transplanted from donor rabbits within less than 2 weeks incubation, developed into an amorphic infiltrating tumour, characterized by a rich arterial network. Tumours harvested after 3 weeks growth in donors, became cystic and had a scanty arterial supply. In both groups there was no portal circulation to the tumours' deposits. It is suggested that prior to intra-arterial treatment of cancer in the liver, the morphology of the tumour should be assessed. IMAGES:
