Spaceflight involves numerous biological stressors that could affect long-term cancer incidence and tumor behavior. Ground-based models of microgravity can be used to investigate in vitro and in vivo tumor growth as a preparation for later work in space.

Abstract

Spaceflight involves numerous biological stressors that could affect long-term cancer incidence and tumor behavior. Ground-based models of microgravity can be used to investigate in vitro and in vivo tumor growth as a preparation for later work in space. The incidence of tumor growth and carcinogenesis in microgravity is as yet unknown. Hence, we investigated the effects of modeled microgravity on tumor growth and tumorigenicity using ground-based in vitro and in vivo models.
