The mouse skin model of chemical carcinogenesis has been very well characterized with respect to epigenetic changes, which occur during tumour cell initiation, promotion and progression. The use of transgenic and gene knock-out mice has contributed greatly to knowledge in this area. The H-ras geneti

The two CHCl3 activation pathways have been studied in incubations at different oxygenation conditions with hepatic microsomes from control Sprague Dawley (SD) rats or SD rats treated with different cytochrome P450 inducers (acetone, phenobarbital, pyrazole, dexamethasone, and beta-naphthoflavone).
Much progress has been made in identifying genes mutated during the development of colorectal carcinoma. Mutation of the APC gene in particular appears to be fundamental for colorectal tumour initiation. In contrast, loss of expression of E-cadherin appears to be a late event, which may be important
In an international population-based case-control study carried out in 8 centres in 6 countries, we investigated the role of specific medical conditions in the aetiology of brain tumours in adults. Recruited were 1,178 glioma and 331 meningioma cases and 2,493 age-and gender-matched population contr
