  • Oncology
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Methods are described which are used for the synthesis of dimethylnitrosamine and diethylnitrosamine with a view to employing these substances for induction of tumors. The preparations were fed in drinking water to male albino rats of common breed. Eight months after the beginning of application of these preparations the experimental animals developed malignant tumors of the liver metastasizing to the lungs. The tumors are variable for their histological structure.
