Abstract excerpt
In order to assess the possibility that activated ras-associated hepatic carcinomas might be much rarer in rats than mice because of the more frequent or rapid occurrence of powerful carcinogenic event(s) other than ras point mutations in the former animals, precancerous lesions and hepatocellular carcinomas induced by a weak hepatocarcinogen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in the rat liver were analyzed for the...
