Influence of Glucose on the Development of Experimental Metastases

British Journal of Cancer volume 30, pages 241–245 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

The effect of 10% glucose solution and narcosis upon the blood borne cancer cells was studied on Wistar rats, with Walker 256 carcinosarcoma inoculated intravenously.

Our experiment reveals obvious differences between the control group and the groups treated with glucose concerning incidence, localization and tumour extension, differences which suggest that there is a risk in using glucose in the intra- and post-surgical resuscitation of patients with cancer.
