Acta Cir Bras

February 2014

Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Rio de JaneiroRJ, Brazil, PhD in Histology, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FioCRUZ), Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil. Histological analysis, interpretation of data.

Purpose: To investigate the induction of neoplastic lesions under the action of ultraviolet B radiation (UVR-B) and dimethyl benzanthracene (DMBA).

Methods: Forty Wistar rats were assigned to four groups (ten animals each), according to the procedure: group A received UVR-B irradiation, group B received topic DMBA, group C, UVR-B+DMBA and group D as control, observed for ten weeks.
