Abbreviations: BA, bronchoalveolar; C, cholangiocarcinoma of the gallbladder; CV, cervicovaginal tract carcinoma; H, hemangiosarcoma; OG, ovarian granulosa cell tumor; MG, mammary gland carcinoma; ML, malignant lymphoma; OG, ovarian granulosa cell tumor; Ot, other types of tumors not listed; TNT, total number of tumors found in that treatment group. Pups were treated as described in “Materials and Methods.”

a

Tumor type occurred in no more than one animal per group.

b

Some mice had more than one type of tumor.

c

Number of mice diagnosed by H&E staining.

d

Equal concentrations of OH-PCB-30 and OH-PCB-61 were used as a mixture.
