In order to develop an animal model that more closely simulates the organ environment and metastatic routes of human prostatic cancer, R3327‐MatLyLu tumors were induced by orthotopic implantation in the ventral prostatic lobe of Copenhagen rats. This procedure reproducibly resulted in metastatic spread of the intraprostatic tumor to the pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, and invariably to the lungs. Further, a tumor recurrence model was established using an approach that combined orthotopic tumor implantation and subsequent surgical resection of the primary tumor. When prostatectomy was carried out 4 days or more after induction, tumors recurred locally in all animals. The surgical procedures described may provide an animal model to test the in vivo response to experimental adjuvant treatment protocols for advanced prostate cancer. Immunological studies are now in progress using cytokine gene‐modified prostatic tumor cells as cellular antitumor vaccines in orthotopically established R3327‐MatLyLu tumors. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
