Prostatic tumor implantation in the nude mouse via a perineal approach

Prostate. 1997 Sep 15;33(1):60-3. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-0045(19970915)33:1<60::aid-pros10>3.0.co;2-j.

Abstract

We describe a novel technique for tumor implantation into the prostate of a nude mouse, using a perineal approach. This technique offers the benefit of being able to accurately implant malignant cells into the dorsal prostate without entering the abdominal cavity.
