Thromboelastographic changes in carcinoma: an animal model.
The dynamics of blood clotting using a thrombelastogram (TEG) are depicted after the injection of V2 carcinoma cells or control heterologous peritoneal exudates in New Zealand hares. Changes in the TEG configurations of native blood samples vs. celite activated samples run simultaneously provide a qualitative assessment of the presence of carcinoma.
