DERIVATION OF CANCER POTENCY<br />

Basis for Cancer Potency<br />

Results of the NTP (1986) gavage study of chlorinated paraffins in male and female B6C3F 1 mice and<br />

F344 rats are listed in Gold et al. (1990). Benign and malignant liver tumors were observed in both<br />

sexes and species; significant elevations in tumor incidences at other sites were also observed.<br />

Estimates of cancer potency are similar for male and female mice and male rats. Cancer potency is<br />
