title: Lack of tumour potentiating effect of cryosurgery in hamster cheek pouch after short term carcinogen exposure.
abstract: Hamster cheek pouch was treated with the topical carcinogen DMBA for 2, 4 or 6 weeks. Cryosurgery to part of the treated area did not produce any alteration in subsequent tumour development. This contrasted with previous studies where cryosurgery following 8 weeks of DMBA application potentiated subsequent tumour development.
