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 1983: When administered in the diet, produced benign and malignant mammary tumors in rats of both sexes.
Citations to review sources and individual studies reporting mammary gland tumors are listed below.
