Androgenic dependence of exophytic tumor growth in a transgenic mouse model of bladder cancer: a role for thrombospondin-1-8

T slices; overlaid CT slices with green pseudo-colored tumor; 3D rendering of high contrast areas – skeleton and contrast-filled bladder – with green pseudo-colored exophytic tumor. Insets: Magnified bladder sections of CT overlay, overlay with pseudo-colored tumor, and 3D rendering of high contrast areas with pseudo-colored tumor, respectively. () A large exophytic bladder tumor (urothelial opacity) fed with an extensive network of blood vessels is visualized by backlighting the bladder. () 3D pseudo-colored bladder tumor only.Copyright information:Taken from "Androgenic dependence of exophytic tumor growth in a transgenic mouse model of bladder cancer: a role for thrombospondin-1"http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2490/8/7BMC Urology 2008;8():7-7.Published online 23 Apr 2008PMCID:PMC2374790.
