Fish testing could cut costs for cancer screening
John Black of Roswell Park Memorial Institute said fish tests could replace rodent trials to determine cancer-causing potential. Current rodent testing costs reach 300000 dollars and take up to two years, while fish testing could cost about 10000 dollars and require nine to 12 months. The comment came at the World Conference on Large Lakes with 400 scientists from 40 countries. The Ames test remains a quick but nonconclusive screening tool for mutation and cancer risk.
