About 40 years ago, the observation was made that conditions within experimental animal tumors could favor the preferential replication of bacteria.9, 10) or, in the case of metastatic models, after small lung metastases were established (11), tumor growth was inhibited in most models for prolonged periods, in some cases up to 50–60 days. Several of the models showed improved survival times, but tumors eventually resumed growth, resulting in the death of the animals. The tumor site-related and systemic toxicities reported in preclinical studies of strictly anaerobic bacteria were not observed, although after a prolonged period, some subcutaneous tumors developed a central necrotic region.
