Experimental Tumor Induction in a Circumscribed Region of the Hamster Trachea: Correlation of Histology and Exfoliative Cytology2

Abstract: A method for the induction of carcinomas in a circumscribed region of the hamster trachea is reported. By means of a special catheter, a solution of N-nitroso-N-methylurea was applied twice a week to about a 6-mm length of the trachea 10- to 16-mm distal from teh vocal cords. Slight alteration of this catheter allowed sampling of cytologic specimens directly from the surface of the carcinogen0exposed epithelium. This procedure permitted the simple and accurate correlation of sequential histologic and cytologic… Show more

“…In order to gain access to the preneoplastic lesions, Schreiber (et al, 1975) devised a method to induce carcinomas in a circumscribed region of the hamster trachea. He did this by using a special catheter to apply N-nitroso-N-methylurea to the trachea, twice weekly.…”

“…Carcinoma of the larynx (9,510), pharynx (8,950), and esophagus (7,250) affected f25,700 patients in the United States in 2005 (1). Cancers with an epicenter within the laryngeal framework itself comprised f10,000 of these aerodigestive malignancies (1).…”

“…In three other varieties of small animal NSCLC models that have been frequently utilized, the carcinogenaffected sites in the respiratory epithelium are predetermined. One model employs repetitive perfusion of a short distal tracheal segment with carcinogen-containing solution (Schreiber et al, 1975). Although complete histopathological examination of the perfused tracheal segment is feasible, the method requires 1) multiple manipulations of the animal and 2) a complex, costly perfusion apparatus for limiting the extent of tracheal mucosal exposure to carcinogen.…”
