A three step method for selection and testing of compounds inhibiting clonal cell growth, consisting of 1) screening for substances that inhibit clonal growth in a culture, 2) in the same culture, testing whether a high local cell concentration (collocation) will decrease the inhibiting effect of such substances on clonal cell growth and 3) testing if export of metastatic cells from a tumour site could be locked by such substances. It should then be possible to decrease or even abolish the development of malignant disease or metastasis from primary tumours and development of benign tumours including atheromas in arteries. The method may also detect compounds that increase clonal growth. These compounds might possess carcinogenic properties or could be used for stimulation of a failing immune system.
