Abstract
J. F. MENKE1 obtained lipid extracts from human breast cancer which, when injected into white mice, induced, in seven of thirty-six animals so treated, the development of sarcomas at the site of injection. In our experiments analogous extracts were prepared from various human cancers. Two extracts were prepared from gastric carcinoma, three extracts from breast carcinoma, and two extracts from fibrosarcoma. Each of the extracts was tested separately.
