neoplasm
• in 3 of 8 melanocytic tumors (2 dimethylbenzantrene-induced and 1 spontaneous), metastases is observed in the lymph nodes, lungs, spleen or liver whereas dimethylbenzantrene-treated wild-type mice do not develop melanomas
|
• by 17 months all mice develop sarcomas, carcinomas, lymphomas and metastatic melanomas with an average latency of 12 months whereas only 25% of wild-type mice develop tumors within the same time frame
|
• mice treated with dimethylbenzantrene (DMBA) develop skin papillomas and pulmonary adenocarcinomas
• 7 of 14 mice treated with DMBA develop cutaneous melanocytic tumors between 3 and 9 months of age
