464:(i.t.) injection in immunocompetent liver cancer model in rabbits over 7 weeks, it was found that the i.t. treatment reduced the average primary tumor volume from 425 cm in control animals to 20 cm in i.t.-treated animals, and to 35 cm in the i.v. treatment group. Furthermore, the average number of lung metastases was reduced from 17 in control animals to 0.5 in i.t.-treated animals and none in the i.v.-treated animals. 24: 645:
