    Notes: Conclusions Since unbalanced diets may increase the carcinogenic risk for certain organs, a balanced form of nutrition is to be recommended from the present point of view. It can also be recommended to avoid hyperalimentation, since this seems to have a positive effect on the cancer mortality risk; furthermore, ideal-weight individuals run a definitely lower risk of suffering a cardiac infarct than overweight individuals. Certain anticancer diets cannot be established. But the intake of juices and salads with a high vitamin C content can inhibit the formation of nitrosamines directly after the intake of food, because the nitrosation is prevented by nitrite interception. Negative influences of diets with a high fiber content are not known. Positive effects are discussed. Since it also prevents obstipation, it can well be recommended. Since dietary habits cannot shortly and easily be changed and changes in nutrition have a considerable impact on the personal quality of living, recommendations favoring certain diets should be given with all due caution. In our opinion the scientific basis for recommendations seems to be too small to justify very restrictive diets for cancer prevention.

    Notes: Summary A total of 111 autochthonous (primary) acute rat leukemias of the diffuse-hepatic type which had been induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene were treated with mono- and combination chemotherapy. The survival time of treated rats increased significantly compared to untreated controls. A combination of vincristine (VCR), adriamycin (ADR), and cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) was superior to a combination of VCR and ADR as well as to a monotherapy with Cyclophosphamide, BCNU, VCR, ADR, and Ara-C.

    Notes: Summary In a wider sense iatrogenic carcinogenesis means the induction of cancer by medical treatment. Some drugs have been now identified to be carcinogenic not only in experimental animals but also in man. For example, chlornaphazine used in the treatment of polycythemia has been proved to induce bladder cancer in 30% of the patients treated. This is also true for alkylating agents which are used as cytostatics in cancer treatment. Adjuvant chemotherapy must be used with due caution. There is probably one iatrogenic carcinoma in 10,000 cases. Hence, it is important to analyze the risk-benefit ratio of such drugs.

    Notes: Summary In a lifetime experiment benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) was administered to Sprague-Dawley rats either as an admixture to the diet or by gavage in an aqueous 1.5% caffeine solution. Dissolved benzo(a)pyrene induced more tumors of the forestomach than undissolved benzo(a)pyrene. The 1.5% caffeine solution (annual dose 27 g/kg) did not exert any carcinogenic activity under the conditions of this bioassay.

    Notes: Summary Autochthonous neurogenic tumors of the rat induced by transplacental application of ethylnitrosourea were used for the first time to study their suitability as tumor models for experimental chemotherapy. Of 189 transplacentally treated rats, 87% developed neurogenic tumors. After the initial clinical diagnosis of a neurogenic tumor, additional malignant tumors often occurred. The mean number of neurogenic tumors from 62 untreated control rats increased from 1.0 per rat at the time of randomization to 1.2 as revealed by autopsy and 1.5 tumors by histological examinations. Out of all neurogenic tumors, tumors of the brain were observed in 31%, tumors of cranial nerves in 36% (90% tumors of trigeminal nerve), tumors of spinal cord in 21%, and tumors of peripheral nerves in 10%. The median survival time until natural death of 62 control rats was 228 days. Rats with tumors of peripheral nerves lived shortest, followed by rats with tumors of cranial nerves, tumors of the spinal cord, and brain tumors. Brain tumors were mainly astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. The survival time of untreated rats from randomization to natural death was longest for those with brain tumors, followed by tumors of peripheral nerves, cranial nerves, and tumors of the spinal cord. There was great variation in survival time from a few days to more than 6 months. To study the responsiveness to chemotherapy, 62 rats received BCNU as a single intravenous dose of 9 and later 10 mg/kg. Sixty-two untreated control rats had a median survival time of 36 days (95% confidence interval 26–52 days), the treated rats 43.5 days (26–62 days) The difference was not statistically significant. BCNU produced a remission or a no change of neurologic symptoms in 60% (37 out of 62) in comparison to 39% (24 out of 62) in the control group (p〈0.05). The advantages and disadvantages of the present models are discussed. Due to methodical problems and the marginal response to BCNU, autochthonous neurogenic tumors of the rat are not suitable as models for chemotherapeutic studies.

    Notes: Summary After 12 oral applications of 80 mg/kg MNNG as a suspension in 30% aqueous ethanol at weekly intervals, 98 Sprague-Dawley rats died with multiple tumors of the forestomach after a medium latency period of 226 days. Histological examination showed generalized papillomatosis developing into keratinizing squamous cell carcinomas with infiltrative growth in 88/98 (89%) animals. Tumorigenic lesions in the glandular stomach ware only observed in 3/98 rats. In two of these animals, mucosal adenocarcinomas were found and in the third a leiomyosarcoma. In about 30% of the animals treated with MNNG, degenerative liver changes were found, especially single cell and focal necroses, cystic alterations, and bile-duct proliferations.

    Notes: Summary In the Sahelian countries coloquint seed tar is used in traditional medicine. A condensate from the seed of Citrullus colocynthis was obtained in a camel nomad settlement. It contained a large number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including known carcinogens [e.g., benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(j)fluoranthene]. The dose-related carcinogenic activity of this condensate was established after chronic epicutaneous application to mouse skin. We conclude that the manufacture and use of coloquint tar and related compounds may involve a health hazard and could lead to the development of cancer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary After injection of 15 mg/kg ethylnitrosourea (ENU) weekly for 15 weeks to adult male Wistar rats (total dose: 225 mg/kg) about 10% of the animals developed myeloid leukemias (chloroleukemias), which resemble the chronic myeloid leukemia in man (CML) (peripheral blood picture, tissue infiltration, chronic course as compared to immature-cell rat leukemias). Monotherapy with busulfan effected no remissions. The median survival time after daily treatment with busulfan was 29.5 days (range: 7–70); it was significantly shorter than that of untreated controls (median: 47.5 days, range: 22–81). After weekly application of 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg Cyclophosphamide the median survival time increase to 69.5 (range: 26–114) and 61.5 (range: 20–92) days, respectively. Rate and duration of remissions after repeated weekly single doses of cyclophosphamide were positively correlated with the increase in single dose; the high dose-intermittent treatment with 50 mg/kg CPA/week yielded complete remissions in all treated animals. Despite these remissions, however, no significant increase in survival time could be observed in comparison with untreated controls. The comparability of autochthonous chloroleukemias in the rat with human CML is discussed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach wöchentlicher Injektion von 15 mg/kg Äthylnitrosoharnstoffüber 15 Wochen in erwachsene männliche Wistar Ratten (Gesamtdosis: 225 mg/kg) entwickelten etwa 10% der Tiere Chloroleukämien, die eine auffallende Ähnlichkeit mit der chronischen myeloischen Leukämie (CML) des Menschen haben (peripheres Blutbild, Gewebsinfiltration, chronischer Verlauf beim Vergleich mit unreifzelligen Rattenleukämien). Eine Monotherapie mit Busulfan bewirkte keine Remissionen. Nach täglicher Behandlung mit Busulfan lag die mediane Überlebenszeit bei 29,5 Tagen (Spanne: 7–70 Tage) und war somit kürzer als die der unbehandelten Kontrolltiere (mediane Überlebenszeit: 47,5 Tage; Spanne: 22–81 Tage). Nach wöchentlicher Behandlung mit 20 mg/kg sowie mit 50 mg/kg Cyclophosphamid (CPA) stieg die mediane Überlebenszeit auf 69,5 (Spanne: 26–114) bzw. 61,5 (Spanne: 20–92) Tage an. Die Remissionsrate und die Remissionsdauer nach wöchentlich wiederholten Einzeldosen von Cyclophosphamid zeigten eine positive Korrelation zur Höhe der Einzeldosis; so bewirkte eine intermittierende Behandlung mit 50 mg/kg CPA/Woche bei allen behandelten Ratten eine komplette Remission. Trotz der Remissionen konnte jedoch kein signifikanter Anstieg der Überlebenszeit beim Vergleich mit den unbehandelten Kontrollen beobachtet werden. Die Vergleichbarkeit der autochthonen Chloroleukämie der Ratte mit der CML des Menschen wird diskutiert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die chemotherapeutische Wirkung von 12 neu entwickelten Nitrosoharnstoffen wurde vergleichend an Yoshida-Sarkom-Asziteszellen experimentell untersucht, die in die Wand des Colon descendens von Sprague-Dawley-Ratten implantiert worden waren. Cyclophosphamid sowie die Nitrosoharnstoffe BCNU, MeCCNU und Chlorozotocin dienten als positive Kontrolle. Unter den untersuchten Nitrosoharnstoffen zeigten 1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-3-(2-chlorethyl)-3-nitrosoharnstoff (Hydroxyethyl-CNU), Chlorozotocin, 1-(2-Chlorethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(4-morpholino)-harnstoff, 1-(2-Chlorethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(1-piperidino)-harnstoff, 4-[1-(2-Chlorethyl)-1-nitroso]-3-[4-(2,6-dimethylmorpholino)]-harnstoff und 1-(2-Chlorethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(3,4-methylendioxybenzyl)-harnstoff die stärkste Aktivität in diesem Tumormodell. Auf Grund der vorliegenden Ergebnisse ist Morpholino-CNU als die erfolgversprechendste Substanz unter den neu synthetisierten BCNU-Analogen anzusehen.
    Notes: Summary The chemotherapeutic activity of 12 newly synthesized nitrosoureas was compared in tests using Yoshida sarcoma ascites cells implanted into the wall of the descending colon in Sprague-Dawley rats. Cyclophosphamide and the nitrosoureas, BCNU, MeCCNU, and chlorozotocin served as positive controls. Among the nitrosoureas tested, 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea (hydroxyethyl-CNU), chlorozotocin, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(4-morpholino) urea, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(1-piperidino) urea, 4-[1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitroso]-3-[4-(2,6-dimethylmorpholino)] urea, and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitroso-3-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl) urea were found to be the most active compounds in this tumor model. Based on the present results, morpholino-CNU is considered the most promising compound among these newly synthesized BCNU analogues.
