ABSTRACT
The mouse skin test cannot give definitive proof for a human carcinogen, although it has long been used as a reliable tool for testing of carcinogenic materials … The animal data must be considered, not as a proof for the human experience, but as a tool with which to work toward the isolation and identification of carcinogenic agent(s). At this time we can only assume, on the basis of the combined human and animal data, that these carcinogens are the same for man and for mice.
