Hi - All of the mentioned routes of administration have been used. Intravenous injections of cells is the most common way of modeling the metastatic cancer. Other approaches involve injection into bones (the femur usually), body cavities, the heart or by subcutaneous implantation of foreign tissue (non cancerous) followed by intravenous/intragraft injections of cancer cells (the tissue presumably serves a site for the cells to grow). This page describes current work on bone tumor metastatic models including intravenous injections, injections into the femoral cavity, and implantation: http://www.karmanos.org/we/research/prostate/model.html This rather long paper describes an approach injecting the cells directly into bone: http://www.techtransfer.wayne.edu/98-449NPD.doc This paper uses an intracardiac injection: http://virology.med.uoc.gr/IJO/2002/volume20/number2/299-303.pdf This paper uses subcutaneous injections: http://www.artp.org/pros-tum/BAS_pt27e.htm search: Google: "bone tumor" metastatic model |
