Table 1. The prevalence and tumor multiplicity of lung tumor formation in female A/J mice.
Treatment | Mice numbers | Tumor bearing mice | Prevalence (%) | Tumor multiplicity |
1. Control | 5 | 1 | 20 | 0.1±0.02 |
2. NNL (L) | 10 | 5 | 50 | 0.85±0.05* , † |
3. NNK (H) | 10 | 10 | 100 | 3.5±0.1* , † ,‡ |
4. TCDD | 10 | 2 | 20 | 0.25±0.05 |
5. NNK(L)+TCDD | 10 | 9 | 90 | 2.2±0.2* , † ,‡ |
*Significantly higher (p<0.05) compared to Control groups.

The incidence and multiplicity of lung tumor formation in female A/J mice treated with low-dose NNK [NNK(L)], high-dose NNK [NNK(H)], TCDD, and TCDD combined with NNK(L). Tumor incidence is provided as the number of animals with tumors divided by the total number of animals at risk (%). Tumor multiplicity is the average tumor number observed in tumor-bearing mice. The data for lung tumor multiplicity are given as the mean ± SEM. *significantly higher (p<0.05) than the control group; †significantly higher (p<0.05) than the TCDD group; ‡significantly higher (p<0.05) than the NNK(L) group.
