Host factors affecting the growth of carcinogen-induced rat mammary carcinomas: a review and tribute to Charles Brenton Huggins

C W Welsch. Cancer Res. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

The carcinogen-induced rat mammary carcinoma model, developed a quarter of a century ago by Dr. Charles Brenton Huggins, is today the standard laboratory animal model in the study of human breast cancer VSports手机版. This model has a number of features that make it particularly attractive to the experimental oncologist, e. g. , tumor induction ease and reliability, organ site specificity, tumors of ductal origin, tumors of predominantly carcinomatous histopathological characteristics, tumors of varying growth factor and/or hormone responsiveness, and the potential to examine tumor initiation and promotion processes. Since the development of this model, an extensive literature describing the biological behavior and responsiveness of these tumors has been provided. The purpose of this communication is to condense, summarize, and integrate this vast literature into a single review with the intent on facilitating information acquisition and conceptualism by both the new and the established experimental oncologist. In addition, and equally important, this communication is a tribute to Dr. Huggins, whose pioneering efforts in the development of this model and whose scientific contributions and dedication to the oncological sciences in general have made an important and lasting impact on us all. .
