As a result of considerations which will be discussed to some extent in the present paper, experiments were carried out to test the effect of certain of the carcinogenic hydrocarbons, studied at the Research Institute of the Royal Cancer Hospital (Cook and others 1932; Cook 1932; Barry and others 1935) on the growth rate of transplantable animal tumours. The work was also extended to include related non-carcinogenic hydrocarbons and other substances. A short preliminary account has already been published (Haddow 1935). |
