| Abstract | The development of naturally occurring lung tumors is related to aging. In rats, mice, and hamsters younger than 12 months naturally occurring pulmonary tumors are exceedingly rare. The majority of them are found in animals older than 20 months. Even then the prevalence in rats and Syrian hamsters is very low whereas in certain strains of mice pulmonary tumors occur quite frequently. The interpretation of long-term animal studies resulting in primary neoplasms of the respiratory tract requires classification of tumors. Because most long-term studies are carried out in rats, the recent literature contains more reports on classification and description of lung tumors for this species. |
