Description

There is a distinct need for realistic animal models to explore the biology and treatment of lung cancer in man. The authors describe an experiment using the method of implantation of a radioactive source in the rat lung with the aim of inducing lung tumours with characteristics resembling those of human bronchical carcinoma. Ionizing radiation emitted by Ir-192 was used as carcinogenic agent. (Auth.)
