What types of cancer can be developed into transplantable cancer tissue lines?
Using the subrenal capsule grafting technique, most cancers so far studied in our laboratory have a high survival rate (>95 %). However, the growth rate of some cancers is too low to allow development of transplantable tissue lines within a reasonable time frame. We have successfully developed transplantable tissue lines from cancers of the human prostate, ovary, lung, kidney, colon, skin, bone and also lymphatic tissue. The success rate for each type of cancer can be found here.
