Carcinogenicidad del DDT

Carcinogenicidad del DDT

Abstract

[EN] The experimental studies on the possible carcinogenicity of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) in mice indicate that: (1) lifetime exposure to technical DDT results in a high incidence of hepatomas in males at concentration of 2, 10, 50 and 250 ppm, and in females at a concentration of 250 ppm: (2) DDT-induced hepatomas rarely metastasize and in many instances do not show obvious signs of invasiveness; in mice exposed to 250 ppm DDT, however, they could be related to a considerable shortening of the life span, (3) the capacíty of DDT to induce liver tumors ís related to the dose administered, as well as to the duration of the administration, (4) the persistence of DDT-induced hepatomas does not depend on the continuous administration of DDT-induced hepatomas do not regress but continue to grow after cessation of the treatment; and (5) wíth lifetime exposure, on e of the two main metabolites of DDT p,p´-l,l-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenylethylene (DDE), caused a hight incidence of hepatomas in both sexes, and the other, p,p'-l,l-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenylethane (DDD), caused a high incidence of lung tumors. The results of long-term studies carried out in other animal species indicate a borderline carcinogenic effect of DDT in rats, which has been confirmed by more recent studies , and no effect in hamsters. The few available studíes in man refer to a small number of individuals and for too limited an observation period to allow any conclusion regarding a possible carcinogenic effect of DDT in man. [ES] Los estudios expe rimentales sobre la carcinogenícídad del DDT indican : 1. La exposición durante toda la vida de los ratones eleva la incidencia de hepatomas en machos a todas las dosis y en las hembras tan sólo en la dosis más elevada. 2. Los hepatomas no producen metástasis y hay una sensible disminución del tiempo de vida en los animales expuestos a 250 p.p.m. 3. La capacidad de inducción de tumores hepáticos es directamente proporcional a la dosis administrada , así como a la duración. 4. La discontinuidad en la administración no influye en la inducción de tumores (ya que la suspensión del tratamiento no implica suspensión de exposición). 5. El p,p'-DDE produce una incidencia en ambos casos de hepatomas y el p,p'-DDD una in cidencia de tumores de pulmón. Los resultados en los estudios de larga duración llevados a cabo en otras especies indican un limitado efecto cancerígeno en ratas, lo cual ha sido confirmado en recientes estudios, y sin efecto en cricetos. Los pocos estudios desarrollados en hombre referidos a un bajo número de individuos y en un período de observación limitado no nos permiten llegar a la conclusión del posible efecto cancerígeno del DDT en el hombre.
