Abstract :
This article discusses laboratory studies using four different strains of normal mice. For exposures of one year or less, experiments with three strains of mice did not show a promotional or co-carcinogenic effect on tumorigenesis. The two-year study with female and male B6C3F1 mice showed that while exposure to GSM-900 fields did not produce an overall increase in the incidence of tumors, there was a dose-dependent decrease in the number of tumor-bearing males, and more so for the incidence of hepatocellular carcinomas.
