The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized hen's eggs represents a unique and alternative model for cancer research. The CAM model provides an optimal platform for xenografting cancer cell lines and studying essential key factors. Tumor size and growth as well as angiogenesis can be investigated to evaluate the response of therapies and strategies against cancer. Preclinical imaging represented by magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography/computed tomography can generate detailed anatomical and functional information and reveal excellent metabolic sensitivity. In the following, a guideline is introduced in order to find a simplified entrance to the CAM model in combination with modern preclinical imaging techniques. Finally, the presented procedures are additionally completed by histological studies in the form of hematoxylin and eosin as well as immunohistochemical staining.
