title: Size dependence of cell cycle parameters for lung metastases from B16 melanoma.
abstract: Data presented show that the cell cycle time of the lung metastases from a B16 melanoma tumor growing in the foot pad of C57 BL/6J mice increases as the size of the metastases increases. This increased cell phase durations of the small metastases being closer to those of the primary tumor. The growth fractions of the primary tumor and of the lung metastases of different sizes are analyzed.
