Abstract

In experiments on 153 non-inbred white female mice lung tumors were induced by subcutaneous injection of urethan (0.5 mg/g) once a week (4 injections as a whole). Mice of the first group were given urethan only. Animals of the second group underwent transcutaneous He-Ne laser irradiation immediately before each urethan injection. Mice of the third group underwent laser irradiation after cessation of 4-week course of urethan. In 2 months after beginning of the experiments, lungs were investigated by light microscopy. It was stated that in animals of the 1st group lung adenomas appeared in 59% of cases. Average amount of tumors per mouse comprised 1.17. In the 2nd group lung tumors were in 82% of animals (p < 0.05). Average amount of tumors per mouse was 1.68. In 2 cases small-cellular lymphocyte-like lung cancer with multicentric growth appeared. Hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue was less in mice with growing tumors. In the animals of the 3d group laser adenomas appeared in 59% of cases. Average amount of tumors per mouse comprised 1.2. It is concluded that He-Ne laser irradiation of animals before injection of chemical carcinogen plays a promising role in the development of murine lung tumors. Laser irradiation after cessation of carcinogen course has no effect on tumor growth.
