Abstract
Mammary cancer in high-breast-cancer strains of mice has been shown by Bittner1 to be transmissible to the offspring through the milk of the mother, and furthermore he has claimed2 that all the tissues except the liver of high-cancer strains contain the same tumour-inducing factor as is found in the milk.
