Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inhibitory effect of Lactobacillus casei (LC 9018) on the growth of transplantable murine bladder tumor. Lactobacillus casei, viable and/or heat-killed bacteria, either in oral or intravenous administration, produced a significant inhibitory effect on the tumor growth and much less pulmonary metastasis.
