title: The Chorioallantoic Membrane of the Chick Embryo to Assess Tumor Formation and Metastasis.
abstract: The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the chick embryo is a suitable and convenient platform for the assessment of tumor formation and metastatic dissemination. Here, we describe tumor cell engraftment on the extraembryonic CAM and further monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis.
