Inhibition of Tumor Implantation after Laparoscopy by Specific Oligopeptides: A Novel Approach to Adjuvant Intraperitoneal Therapy to Prevent Tumor Implantation in an Animal Model

This study suggests that tumor implantation after laparoscopic surgery and port-site metastases might be prevented by the intraperitoneal administration of specific oligopeptides or cytotoxic agents. Moreover, oligopeptides, in comparison with mitomycin, caused less weight loss of the mice.
