Non-gradient regional differences in tumor growth.
Tumor cells inoculated subcutaneously into various regions of the trunk of dogs showed differences in growth for prolonged time periods. However, consistent antero-posterior gradient tumor growth patterns previously reported by other investigators in mouse tumor systems were not observed. The regional variance in tumor growth was not great enough to overcome the dose-response growth relationship in the dogs inoculated with doubling doses of tumor cells.
