Chemical Compounds as Carcinogenic Agents: First Supplementary Report: Literature of 1937

Abstract

A review of the progress made in the study of the carcinogenic properties of chemical compounds, incorporating literature published during the triennial period between the First and Second International Cancer Congresses, was presented to the Second International Congress in Brussels, in September 1936, and was subsequently reprinted with an addendum covering most of the literature published up to the end of 1936 (231). The year 1937 has again witnessed a large output of new work in this field and this is summarised in the present report. For convenience of reference the general classification adopted in the original report has been retained and the references are numbered continuously.
