The Effect of 60-Hz Magnetic Fields on Co-promotion of Chemically Induced Skin Tumors on SENCAR Mice: A Discussion of Three Studies

摘要

Three independent experiments involving a total of 288 SENCAR mice were used to study the effects of 60-Hz magnetic fields on the growth and development of skin tumors. Given the con- straints imposed by the experimental design, the results did not support a role for magnetic fields as a tumor co-promoter. This negative finding could also be interpreted to mean that the SEN- CAR mouse skin tumor model was not sensitive enough to detect the action of a weak co-promoter.
