There is well documented evidence both in humans and in experimental animals that exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy results in an increased incidence of tumours in the progeny. The increased cancer risk has been reported to persist in the second generation descendants of DES-expo

Abstract
Lung tumour incidence in mice fed with hydrazine sulphate (1.1 mg/day/mouse) was studied in male and female mice of Swiss, Strong βAβ and F~1~ cross of ICRC (female) Γ C3H (Jax) (male), as well as in C17 males. Swiss strain mice showed 100% lung adenocarcinomas. None of the treated mice of different strains had liver tumours. Hydrazine sulphate also induced adenocarcinomas of lung in Strong βAβ and F~1~ cross of ICRC females Γ C3H (Jax) males but it produced lymphomas of lung in C17 strain. Female mice of Swiss strain and F~1~ hybrids showed greater susceptibility to hydrazine sulphate than the males. It was interesting to observe that protein and vitamin B deficiency in the diet shortened the tumour induction period in Swiss strain mice.
