The number of mice that developed liver metastasis of colon cancer through splenic tumor-cell injection (5 × 104 CT26 cells) in different treatment groups. The liver metastasis of colon cancer was observed only in two of six mice in the CLM-CTX1, CLM-CTX2, and CLM-CTX3 groups. Macroscopic liver metastasis of colon cancer was observed in all mice in the CLM group. No macroscopic and microscopic liver metastases were observed in the normal group. Mice in the CLM-CTX1 group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with CTX (20 mg/kg) post surgery immediately. Mice in the CLM-CTX2 group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with CTX (20 mg/kg) on Days 0 and 7 post surgery. Mice in the CLM-CTX3 group (n = 6) were intraperitoneally injected with CTX (20 mg/kg) on Days 0, 7, and 14 post surgery. The mice of the liver metastasis only (CLM) group (n = 6) were not injected with CTX. CLM, colon-cancer liver metastasis; CLM-CTX, colon-cancer liver metastasis-cyclophosphamide; CTX, cyclophosphamide.
