Radiation-induced Osteosarcoma in the Rat as a Model for Osteosarcoma in Man

A technique is described for the local induction of osteosarcoma in the rat by implanting (32)P-impregnated polyvinyl chloride discs into the distal femoral metaphysis. The incidence of osteosarcomata after 18 months was 28%. A comparison is made of the pathology of the radiation-induced osteosarcom...

Sumario:A technique is described for the local induction of osteosarcoma in the rat by implanting (32)P-impregnated polyvinyl chloride discs into the distal femoral metaphysis. The incidence of osteosarcomata after 18 months was 28%. A comparison is made of the pathology of the radiation-induced osteosarcoma in the rat and the “spontaneous” osteosarcoma in man. The possible value of the rat osteosarcoma model is discussed. IMAGES:
