Uso de la membrana chorioalantoica de pollo en vivo modelo para estudiar cánceres ginecológicos y urológicos

Overview

The chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model serves as a transplantable, in vivo system for studying gynecological and urological cancer cell lines and patient-derived tumors. This method allows for rapid tumor growth in an immunotolerant environment, facilitating the testing of novel therapeutic approaches.
