All animals were observed until death and in every instance the tumors were examined and measured. In the 1st series of experiments autotransplants and homotransplants were done on 38 female rats by removing the original tumor and inserting fragments in the axillae and groins of the same animal; such serial autotransplantations were repeated from 2 to 5 times until the animal died. With minor variations such autotransplant tumors retained the structural identity of the original tumor. The 2nd series of experiments comprised 18 female rats injected with estrogen; large, spontaneous tumors showed no changes in morphology, but autotransplants and homotransplants grew more rapidly, and the latent period was reduced. A 3rd series of experiments was carried out with 16 female rats treated with androgens, which appeared to inhibit the epithelial components of adenofibromata. In a last series of experiments on 12 rats treated with estrogens and androgens together or in sequence, estrogen seemed to overcome the inhibiting action of androgens and exerted a stimulating effect on growing specific epithelium. Connective-tissue elements of the tumors did not appear to be directly affected by estrogens and to be moderately inhibited by androgens.\u0000","PeriodicalId":85625,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of cancer","volume":"28 1","pages":"343-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1940-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80111911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 469 normal and castrated rats were given injections of estrogen and testosterone after tumor implantation in the region of the right inguinal mammary gland. The injection of estrogen raised the growth rate of tumors in castrates to 2.0 mm/week. Castration does not appreciably affect the number of successful implants in males, the takes in the normal males being 24.3% and in the castrates 22.2%. Injection of testosterone propionate in a small group of castrate females resulted in successful growth in 40%; in castrated males there was a 46.1% take. These results do not indicate any inhibitory effect of testosterone on adenofibroma. Estrogenic hormone is the important endocrine factor determining the successful transplantation of mammary adenofibroma in rats. The stimulatory effect of estrogenic hormone upon mammary adenofibroma is probably exerted indirectly through the \"mammogenic hormone\" of the anterior pituitary. The transplantibility and growth rate of adenofibromas may be altered by hormonal means since this tumor responds like the normal mammary gland to the ovarian and pituitary hormones.\u0000","PeriodicalId":85625,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of cancer","volume":"37 1","pages":"212-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1940-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85493780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The A inbred high-cancer line was used as control and newborn young of A stock mothers were removed and fostered by females of the low-tumor C57 Black or CBA lines. It was apparent that the fostered mice and the progeny of the noncancerous fostered animals lived considerably longer than did mice from the other 2 classes. Controls had a tumor incidence of 83.6% as compared to only 7.4% of the fostered mice. Little variation was observed in the average breast tumor age of the various classes. This experiment demonstrates that the source of milk exerts a decided influence on the development of breast tumors, since mice nursed by low-tumor stock females show a low percentage of tumors, while mice nursed by high-tumor stock females have a high ratio. In general, if the mother had a breast tumor the incidence among its progeny was nearly as high as for the control stock, while young descended from noncancerous mothers usually have a low ratio. These findings, however, do not entail definite conclusions, since exceptions are rather common.","PeriodicalId":85625,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of cancer","volume":"49 1","pages":"90-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1939-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82114739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The uterus and other sex organs were studied in 501 mice including 177 control mice which were not subjected to sex hormones. 3 different strains of mice of ages ranging from 1-20 months were used. Mice were variously injected with 1-100 rat units of estrogen, estrogen and acid extract of cattle anterior pituitary gland, acid extract alone, estrogen and corpus luteum extract (Proluton), and corpus luteum alone. Changes which may take place in the uterus of mice under the influence of estrogen include: 1) the normal one-layered cylindrical epithelium may change into several rows of cylindrical cells or into a partly cylindrical and partly squamous epithelium, or a typical squamous epithelium; 2) gland ducts may become cystically dilated and filled with colloid material; 3) the uterine glands may proliferate and penetrate into and through the muscle tissue; 4) infection may take place; and 5) parts of the pancreas may become adherent to the uterus. In none of the test cases were cancerous changes or even precancerous proliferations found. Reactivity of the uterine epithelial structures to growth stimulation is less than that of the compounding tissues in the vagina, cervix, and mammary gland. Cancerous transformation depends, among other factors, on the product of the intensity of growth stimuli acting on a tissue and the responsiveness of the affected tissue. In a minority of the mice certain changes were observed such as a penetration of the uterine glands into or through the musculature of the uterus and a metaplasia of the cylindrical surface epithelium. In a considerable number of cases, the squamous epithelium owed its origin to regenerative processes which led to an extension of the cervix epithelium into the uterus. Under the influence of estrogen these changes are produced more readily the greater the dosage used and the more continuous the action.\u0000","PeriodicalId":85625,"journal":{"name":"The American journal of cancer","volume":"1 1","pages":"413-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1938-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90204267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
