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.
There is only one study, an NTP study, of this chemical and it used a dermal exposure. DBP caused increased tumors at multiple sites, including the mammary gland (female rats). Tumors (not necessarily mammary) were observed in all animals, even at the lowest doses.
Citations to review sources and individual studies reporting mammary gland tumors are listed below.
