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: No tumors observed in several inhalation studies of wood dust. Dermal exposure to a methanol extract of beech wood dust resulted in a marginally significant dose-related increase in the incidence of mammary tumors (adenocarcinoma, adenoacanthoma, and mixed tumors) in female NMRI mice.
Only review sources are listed for this chemical because of lower likelihood of exposure.
