Mammary gland tumor summary
A summary of findings related to mammary gland tumors, most
often excerpted from IARC Monographs or the NTP 11th ROC, and, in some cases,
supplemented by our evaluation of individual studies and reviews, is available for the priority
chemicals and 67 others.
IARC 1978: After oral administration, produced mammary carcinomas in female rats. It also increased the incidence of benign mammary tumors in female rats following ambient exposure.
Citations to review sources and individual studies reporting mammary gland tumors are listed below.
