title: Growth of mouse hepatoma following liver resection.
abstract: Liver regeneration occurs after resection. Hepatic tumors may be subject to the same factors which influence cell mass in regenerating liver. Partial hepatectomy is shown to cause a significant transient augmentation of tumor growth compared to non-operated and nephrectomized controls. Skin grafting studies indicate this phenomenon is probably not immunologically mediated.
