ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the physiological use of tin and points out the peculiarities of tin in the cancer victim and in the tumor. It suggests that xenobiotic tin accumulates in the lymphatic system of outbred noncancer-prone mice. The book presents an in-depth computerized statistical analysis of the raw tin data from the time profile study. It provides data showing the universal presence of tin in various mammalian organs, and that water-soluble and hydrocarbon-soluble chemical species exist. The book also presents a review of the extant literature concerning thymic hormones and a review of the thymus in relation to its importance to immunocompetence. It also provides a compendium of the results observed when various tin steroids were orally administered to the tumor-laden mice in their drinking water.
