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.
NTP 11ROC: When administered to rats by subcutaneous injection, 4-aminobiphenyl caused mammary-gland tumors.
Citations to review sources and individual studies reporting mammary gland tumors are listed below.
