Around 1944, H. Meyer set up mice for radiation exposure investigations by A. Nettleship and P. Henshaw. The carcinogenesis of urethane was discovered in the course of these experiements. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Pictured is a lab at the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Facility (FCRDF). A technician is seen in a series of pictures performing cell culture work. Noticeable is the yellow glow of ultraviolet light, which maintains the sterile conditions in the lab. These cell cultures are used for in vitro carcinogenesis assays.

In summary, if there is any causal relationship between H. pylori infection and gastric cancer, clearly other factors are also important in gastric carcinogenesis. (references)

Although it is clear hormones are involved in increased cell proliferation and hormone-initiated carcinogenesis, the biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in the initiation and promotion of tumorigenesis are not fully understood. (references)

A hormonal role in carcinogenesis was first reported by G. T. Beatson in an 1898 Lancet article, which described a reduction of breast cancer in women whose ovaries had been surgically removed, resulting in greatly lowered estrogen levels. (references)
