Relation of the Milk Influence to the Carcinogenic Induction of Mammary Cancer in Mice. *

Abstract

The administration of carcinogens to mice of inbred strains may result in the appearance of epitheliomas, sarcomas or other tumors to which the animals show no spontaneous susceptibility. In certain strains in which lung tumors, hepatomas, leukemia, or mammary cancer appear spontaneously carcinogens have accelerated their onset.^{1, 2, 3, 4}
