The International Agency for Research on Cancer Books

The series on the Pathology of Tumours in Laboratory Animals was established by the International Agency for Research on Cancer 25 years ago to serve as a comprehensive reference for experimental pathologists in chronic toxicology research. The first edition focused on mouse tumors and was released in 1979. Since then, numerous studies have introduced new models, induction methods, and immunohistochemical techniques, prompting efforts to integrate this information. Each chapter addresses tumors specific to an organ or system, detailing all neoplasms reported, following WHO terminology for human tumors. The structure from the first edition—covering normal organ structure, classification, tumor morphology and histology, spontaneous tumor incidence, induction methods, comparative aspects, illustrations, and references—has been preserved. The second edition features separate chapters on nasal cavity tumors and salivary and lacrimal gland tumors, which were previously combined. Additionally, the chapter on hematopoietic organ tumors is now split into two: one on lymphohematopoietic tissue tumors and another on histolytic sarcoma. A new chapter on gallbladder tumors has also been included.
