Introduction to mouse lung tumorigenesis.
This article provides a brief overview of some of the characteristics of lung tumors in mice and their application for studies in both chemical and molecular carcinogenesis and in cancer chemoprevention. The reader is referred to the above-mentioned review articles, and the articles to follow in this issue, for more extensive discussions of mouse lung tumorigenesis. It has been very exciting and rewarding to observe the progress made by many dedicated scientists in the field of mouse lung tumorigenesis during the past several years, and I hope that the next few years will be even more exciting.
