Abstract
The effects of HER upon early and late stages of BBN-induced bladder cancer in rats were examined. Female Fischer 344 rats were administered HER in the diet either before and during or continuously after BBN administration and were monitored periodically for up to 2 years. The total dose of BBN was 600 mg administered over a 6-week period. In a separate experiment, the effects of HER administration to syngeneic recipients of a transplanted primary bladder cancer were examined. No effects on neoplastic development were observed as the result of HER treatment before and during carcinogen administration. However, at the 1-year sacrifice, there was a significant increase in bladder tumor incidence in the animals receiving BBN followed by continuous retinoid treatment versus animals receiving BBN only. At the 2-year sacrifice, there was a significant increase in tumor progression in the continuous retinoid group versus the animals receiving BBN alone, based upon grading and staging of tumors, although tumor incidences were not significant different. In the transplantation experiment, more recipients (9/20 versus 2/20) receiving continuous HER had large, anaplastic tumors following 9 months of observation than did control animals. This study supports the view that retinoids should not be considered as only inhibitors of carcinogenesis, but rather as modifiers which vary in their effects depending upon factors yet to be understood.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
