Enhanced lymphoma incidence in BALB/c mice after ultraviolet light treatment

Journal of the National Cancer Institute

Abstract

Following UV irradiation of BALB/c mice three times a week for 9 months, lymphatic leukemia or reticulosarcoma developed in 44 (12%) of 378 mice whose backs were shaved and whose ears were intact. Only 11 (5%) of 224 UV-irradiated mice whose backs were shaved and whose ears were removed developed lymphomas. Among 311 unirradiated mice whose backs were shaved, 9 lymphomas (3%) occurred. The diagnosis of leukemia or reticulosarcoma was confirmed by microscopy and transplantation. Among irradiated mice, ear tumors developed in 24% of the mice with intact ear, whereas skin tumors developed on the shaved backs in 4% of the mice whose ears were removed and also in 4% of the mice with intact ears.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-cell leukemia includes various types of lymphoid leukemia that affect B cells. Here is the latest research on B-cell leukemia.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
