Since compensatory hyperplasia promotes experimental carcinogenesis in the gut, we tested the ability of two surgical models of pancreatic growth to promote pancreatic carcinogenesis. Male Wistar rats (n = 60) weighing 250-300 g underwent pancreatobiliary diversion (PBD), 90% small bowel resection (PSBR) or triple transection and reanastomosis of the small intestine (controls). Postoperatively, each group received azaserine (20 mg kg-1 wk-1 i.p.) for 6 weeks. Surviving rats were killed at 6 months, pancreatic wet weight was measured and histological sections were examined for atypical acinar cell foci (AACF), the putative precursor of carcinoma. Median relative pancreatic weight (mg pancreas/g body weight) was 2.20 for controls (n = 18), 4.08 for PSBR (n = 11) (P less than 0.001) and 6.86 for PBD (n = 16) (P less than 0.001). PSBR did not affect the development of acidophilic AACF, but PBD produced an enormous increase in their number per cm3 (median 96 vs. 0; P less than 0.001) and a 7-fold increase in their volume (P less than 0.001). Both operations cause pancreatic growth, but only PBD promotes carcinogenesis, possibly because of its unique hormonal effect.
