title: [Effects of castration and estradiol dipropionate on carcinogenesis of methylcholanthrene-induced gallbladder cancer in male hamsters].
abstract: The study used 8 groups of 8-10 week-old male hamsters. Beeswax pellets containing 5 mg of 20-methylcholanthrene (group 4) or 2 mg (group 5) were injected into the gallbladder. In group 6, the latter treatment was supplemented with castration and subcutaneous injection of 40 micrograms of estradiol dipropionate (EP) once a week. Other experimental exposures included: sham operation (group 2), beeswax pellet injection into the gallbladder (group 3), beeswax pellet injection + castration + EP (group 7) and castration + EP (group 8) with the animals is group 1 being in control. The gallbladder tumor development frequency in groups 4, 5 and 6 was 58.3; 39.3 and 77.8%, respectively. The difference between the data on group 5 and 6 proved significant. The study on cumulative likelihood of tumor development showed a significant increase in tumor frequency in group 6 as compared with group 4 and 5. A strong stimulating effect of castration and EP treatment on tumorigenesis in the gallbladder was demonstrated.
