Higher CO2-insufflation pressure inhibits the expression of adhesion molecules and the invasion potential of colon cancer cells

Figure 6 Results of intra-abdominal tumor nodules. A: Mesentery tumor nodules in the 15 mmHg group; B: Mesentery tumor nodules in the 6 mmHg group; C: Numbers of intra-abdominal tumor nodules in the various groups. The number of intra-abdominal tumor nodules in the 15 mmHg group (A) was significantly lower than those in 6 mmHg group (B) (^aP = 0.046). The mean numbers of abdominal cavity nodules formed by the cells in each group are described in (C).
