    Abstract:
    Combination effects of sequential treatment with uracil prior to N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) with regard to carcinogenesis in the urinary bladder and renal pelvis were investigated in male F344 rats. Uracil was administered for 15, 10 or 5 weeks followed by BBN for 23 weeks, the total observation time being 40 weeks. Carcinoma(s) and papilloma(s) were induced in the urinary tract by the 15-week uracil treatment independent of subsequent BBN administration. It was concluded that uracil administration prior to BBN treatment is not associated with any synergistic effects, although both uracil and BBN alone exerted carcinogenicity.
