ABSTRACT
Forestomach neoplasia induced by the apparently non-genotoxic carcinogens, butylated hydroxyanisole and propionic acid, appears to arise by way of sustained high levels of cellular proliferation. Several other inducers of enhanced cellular proliferation, or the consequential incidence of hyperplastic lesions, have been identified in the rodent forestomach but the requisite carcinogenicity bioassays remain undone. In other tissues, such as the male rat kidney, the rodent thyroid follicular cell and the bladder epithelium, there is also evidence supporting the concept that sustained enhanced cellular proliferation may be an important early marker for non-genotoxic carcinogens. This reaction is, however, not likely to be the only marker necessary for the identification of non-genotoxic carcinogens.
