Sequential analysis of experimental oral carcinogenesis in hamster cheek pouch using 9,10-dimethyl-1-2-benzanthracene.
The utility of hamster cheek pouch model for studies on oral carcinogenesis has been explored using 9,10-dimethyl-1-2-benzanthracene as a carcinogen. Based on the morphological, histopathological and electron microscopic observations the hamster cheek pouch carcinogenesis can be separated into different stages starting from the normal to the fully grown carcinomas. This system is reliable, precise, consistent and can be used for the evaluation of different agents for initiating or promoting effects and as well as for the studies on mechanism of oral carcinogenesis.
