Abstract excerpt
The murine inbred strain C3H provides an experimental model of inherited predisposition to hepatocellular cancer. Hepatocellular neoplastic lesions induced by chemical carcinogens reach a volume 10-100-fold greater in C3H mice than in genetically resistant strains. However, the huge strain differences in tumor size are explained by relatively small differences (10%-30%) in tumor cell kinetics. Genetic linkage...
