The early studies of the English school on cancer transplantation disclosed the paramount importance of the vascular reaction of the host as an indispensable condition for the success of the grafting (1). The rapid growth of the vascular stroma, paralleling the growth of the cancer tissue proper, may be responsible for functional alterations in the blood capillaries and account for an increased permeability. That such is the case is indicated by the observation that a Shwartzman-like phenomenon takes place in both transplanted and spontaneous tumors following the intravenous injection of bacterial toxins (2–5).
Investigators have long sought substances which would localize in tumors after intravenous injection, with the hope that some influence could be exerted on the growth. Dyestuffs seem to have been most generally used.
Cruickshank (6) has reviewed the extensive earlier literature on the subject, which need not be gone into here except for observations on certain dyes. It was observed by Weil (7) and Simpson and Marsh (8) that the azo-dyes, injected in small amounts, stained the necrotic parts of the tumor but the whole tumor did not take up the color until sufficient dye had been injected to discolor many of the normal tissues. Ludford (9) showed that trypan blue, which appeared to localize in the tumor, was not taken up by the cancer cells but by the fibroblasts, histiocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes present in the stroma and surrounding tissue. The present investigation has been undertaken from the point of view of the possible role of vessel permeability in the localization of materials in tumors.1
