Oncogenicity of hexachlorobenzene.

E Ertürk, R W Lambrecht, H A Peters

    IARC Scientific Publications
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) exposure caused significant liver and kidney damage in mice, hamsters, and rats. Chronic exposure led to tumors, particularly hepatomas and hepatocellular carcinomas in female rats.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Carcinogenesis
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a persistent environmental pollutant.
    • Understanding HCB's long-term health effects is crucial for risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the subchronic and chronic toxicities of HCB in multiple species.
    • To identify dose- and sex-dependent toxicological endpoints and carcinogenic potential of HCB.

    Main Methods:

    • Subchronic (90-day) and chronic (up to 2-year) dietary studies in Swiss mice, Syrian golden hamsters, and Sprague-Dawley rats.
    • Dose-ranging exposure with detailed histopathological examination at multiple time points.
    • Retesting in rats at lower doses for long-term chronic toxicity assessment.

    Main Results:

    • Common findings included hepatosplenomegaly, thymic/lymph node enlargement, and renal changes.
    • Progressive liver lesions (hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatomas, bile-duct adenomas, hepatocarcinomas) were observed, especially in female rats.
    • Renal changes (nephritis, infarcts, adenomas) were more prevalent in male rats, with lymphohaematopoietic tumors in female mice.

    Conclusions:

    • HCB induces significant dose- and sex-dependent toxicities and carcinogenic effects in rodents.
    • Liver and kidney are primary target organs, with distinct tumor types observed in different sexes and species.
    • Findings highlight the carcinogenic risk of HCB, particularly for liver and kidney tumors.
