Distant metastasis facilitated by BCG: spread of tumour cells injected in the BCG-primed site.

Tumour metastasis in BCG-pretreated mice was studied using a methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma in C3H/He mice. When tumour cells were injected into the BCG-primed site, distant metastasis occurred in the lungs and the popliteal lymph node, through this tumour did not metastasize in normal mice...
