A major goal in pre-clinical cancer chemoprevention research is to assess the predictive value of intermediate biomarker modulation towards tumor prevention. With this aim, BALB/c mice were treated with 10 daily i.p. injections of urethane (ethyl carbamate), each of 400 mg/kg body weight. Groups of

## Abstract Lung cancer is the most important cause of death among neoplastic diseases worldwide, and cigarette smoke (CS) is the major risk factor for cancer. Complementarily to avoidance of exposure to CS, chemoprevention will lower the risk of cancer in passive smokers, ex‐smokers, and addicted
## Abstract A transplantable hamster tumor (RHT‐1) induced by Rauscher leukemia‐virus‐transformed hamster embryo cells was established in tissue culture, and its characteristics were studied. The tumor cell line also contained group‐specific complement‐fixing antigen and continuously released infec
## Abstract Tracheal tumors were induced by repeated intratracheal exposures to the carcinogen __N__‐nitroso‐__N__‐methylurea (NMU), using a catheter system previously described. Carcinogen concentrations of 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0% were employed in 20 or 30 twice‐weekly exposures. Most of the tumors de
