mortality/aging
• mice die before week 32 due to increased lung cancer progression

respiratory system
• 20 weeks after treatment, lungs are increased in size
• 2 weeks after 5-hydroxytamoxifen treatment, small tumors are found in the lungs
• 20 weeks after treatment, lungs are oversized with 2-3 times as many tumors, many often >2mm in diameter, while lungs of Kras, Mapk14 heterozygotes have normal lungs with fewer, smaller tumors; tumors in Mapk14 homozygotes are more poorly differentiated and have higher mitotic indices
• at 26 weeks, total tumor number is slightly higher than in controls with much higher numbers of tumors larger than 2 mm in diameter and a higher ratio of lung mass to total mass
• tumors are detected 2 weeks after 5-hydroxytamoxifen treatment and after 4 weeks, clear signs of adenomas are present in most lungs compared to only a few small adenomas in lungs of treated Kras, Mapk14tm2Nbr/+ control mice
• adenocarcinomas are detected at 15 weeks but not in controls
• lung differentiation is abnormal with increased SP-C-positive cells

neoplasm
• mice also have tumors in the thymus and organs such as kidney and liver by 24 weeks after treatment whereas controls only have tumors in lungs and thymus
• 2 weeks after 5-hydroxytamoxifen treatment, small tumors are found in the lungs
• 20 weeks after treatment, lungs are oversized with 2-3 times as many tumors, many often >2mm in diameter, while lungs of Kras, Mapk14 heterozygotes have normal lungs with fewer, smaller tumors; tumors in Mapk14 homozygotes are more poorly differentiated and have higher mitotic indices
• at 26 weeks, total tumor number is slightly higher than in controls with much higher numbers of tumors larger than 2 mm in diameter and a higher ratio of lung mass to total mass
• tumors are detected 2 weeks after 5-hydroxytamoxifen treatment and after 4 weeks, clear signs of adenomas are present in most lungs compared to only a few small adenomas in lungs of treated Kras, Mapk14tm2Nbr/+ control mice
• adenocarcinomas are detected at 15 weeks but not in controls

growth/size/body
• 20 weeks after treatment, lungs are increased in size
