Abstract
Age‐specific incidence curves of mouse breast cancer suggest a rate‐limiting step in tumor progression one step prior to overt cancer and the withdrawal prior to middle life of a critical etiological condition (hormonal?) for one or more of the earlier steps in the oncogenic sequence.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
