Cancer research, 1975•AACRIn an effort to establish an animal colon tumor model suitable for biological and
chemotherapy studies, 82 colon tumors were induced and transplanted in four different
inbred strains of mice. Four colon tumors survived the first transplant and are now in serial
passage. All are suitable for chemotherapy trials. Two tumors are highly metastatic, and at
least one of these is known to be suitable for surgery-chemotherapy adjuvant studies. The
effective colon carcinogens contained a molecular similarity.
