FINE STRUCTURE OF THE ABSORBING LYMPHATIC VESSEL AND INTRAVASATION MODALITY OF THE CANCER CELL

2007

The topografic distribution and the fine structure of the tumor-associated absorbing lymphatic vessel in the B16 Melanoma and T84 adenocarcinoma subcutaneous tumor mass of nude mice and in adenocarcinoma mouse prostate in transgenic mice were studied to demonstrate the modality of the cancer cell transendothelial migration and the role of the lymphatic pathway in the metastatic diffusion. Furthermore, the structural characteristics of the lymphatic vascular system canalisation, that allow to discriminate between the vessels with high absorbent capacity, distinctive of the mucous and submucous network and vessels with lymph flow and conduction function (precollectors, pre- and postlymph noda…
