A significant amount of secondary metastatic cancer cells are observed in lung tissues of DMSO control mice detected using IVIS in vivo imaging system after 26 days of fat pad inoculation. However, Lith-O-Asp–treated mice show fewer lung metastases. All DMSO-treated mice confirm secondary lung metastasis, but only 3 of 8 Lith-O-Asp-treated mice show lung metastasis. Average tumor nodules per mouse are 11±9 nodules in DMSO-treated group, and 2±4 nodules in Lith-O-Asp-treated group. Additionally, significantly stronger 4T1-Luc illumination signals are shown in control mice than in those injected with Lith-O-Asp-treated cancer cells on days 7 and 9^[1].
