Abstract
Panfuran-S in the diet produced a high incidence of invasive and metastatic adenocarcinomas of the duodenum and the jejunum in outbred Wistar rats. Depressed growth and incidence of cancer production were dose-dependent. Adenocarcinomas of the duodenum were present in 2 of 18 (11%) rats that received 1,750 ppm 3-di(hydroxymethyl)amino-6-(5-nitro-2-furylethenyl)-1,2,4-triazine (DHNT) in the diet and in 11 of 19 (58%) rats that received 3,500 ppm DHNT. Adenocarcinomas of the jejunum were present in 10 of 18 (56%) and 16 of 19 (84%) rats that received 1,750 and 3,500 ppm DHNT, respectively, for 35-37 weeks. The only other tumors observed were squamous cell papillomas of the forestomach. Histologically, most of the adenocarcinomas appeared tubular or papillary and were similar to adenocarcinomas in the small intestine of man and also to human intestinal-type adenocarcinoma of the stomach. This system provided a useful experimental model for the study of the pathogenesis of carcinoma of the small intestine.
