The vasculature of B16, a murine melanoma and Mel-mo, a human melanoma, was studied using intravital staining of patent capillaries by the fluorescent bisbenzamine dye Hoechst 33342. Capillaries were numerous at the edge of tumors in both lines studied, but were scarcer within the nodules. Vascular volume as a proportion of total tumor volume was estiamted by means of point counting. In both B16 and Mel-mo, the percentage vascular volume was inversely related to log tumor weight. Tumor necrosis, which increased with tumor size, was inversely correlated with percentage vascular volume, emphasizing the central under-perfusion of these experimental tumor nodules. This pattern of perfusion, with greater density of functioning capillaries at the periphery of tumor nodules, was seen in both the tumor lines examined despite differences in the degree and pattern of necrosis.
