Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different surgical approaches affect metastatic growth in a mouse model of neuroblastoma, particularly after total tumor resection.
- Mice underwent either partial resection, subcutaneous sponge implantation, or were simply observed, with results showing that sponge implantation led to increased lymph node and lung metastases compared to the other groups.
- Higher levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 were found in the sponge group, indicating that systemic inflammation may play a role in promoting metastatic growth.
