Removed lungs and the largest cross sections. (A) Representative lungs of rats injected with RCN-9. Removed lungs on the left were those of group 4 (JTE-522: 30 mg/kg/day); and those on the right were group 1 (control). Surface of the lungs of group 1 has more metastatic tumors than that of group 4. (B) The largest cross-sections of group 1 (control) and group 4 (JTE-522: 30 mg/kg/day), which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The upper slide shows the largest cross-section of group 1, and the lower one shows that of group 4. Many metastatic tumors are not visible on the surface.
