For reducing metastasis and mortality after resection, the primary tumor should be removed with subcutaneous fat on day 8 after inoculation. Antitumor and antimetastatic effects and reduced mortality were achieved by intraperitoneal injection of carboplatin (63.3 mg/kg) and paclitaxel (13.3 mg/kg); chemotherapy was administered twice. The combination of the two approaches increased the survival: the antitumor and antimetastatic effects were observed in 60% of mice with LLC relative to resection alone or treatment with cytostatics alone. However, chemoresistance was formed in 40% of mice, the values of the tumor growth inhibition index and the metastasis inhibition index decreased.
