title: The role of bone fracture at the site of carcinogen exposure on nickel carcinogenesis in the soft tissue.
abstract: The influence upon nickel subsulfide (alpha-Ni3S2; Ni-SS)-induced carcinogenesis in the soft tissue of bone fracture at the site of Ni-SS exposure was studied using female Fischer rats. During the one year of the experiment, the group subjected to bone fracture exhibited the shortest tumor induction time and survival time, and a significantly higher metastatic rate. The present study may suggest a model for the metastasis of human soft tissue tumors.
