Title: Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS) data bank, 1981-June 1986 (1988 version). Data file

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5289869

CCRIS is a scientifically evaluated and fully referenced data bank, developed and maintained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), containing carcinogenicity, tumor promotion, and mutagenicity test results. Data are derived from the scanning of primary journals, current-awareness tools, and a special core set of sources, including a wide range of NCI reports. Test results have been reviewed by experts in carcinogenesis. CCRIS File Structure: CCRIS data fields are arranged in two broad subject categories plus a category for administrative information: Administrative Information, Substance Identification/Use, Carcinogenicity/Tumor Promotion/Mutagenicity Studies. The three data fields within category 2 and the information contained therein are: Carcinogenicity Studies: Species; Strain/Sex; Route; Dose; Tumor site/Type of lesion; Results; Reference. Tumor Promotion Studies; Species; Strain/Sex; Promoter Route; Target Tissue/Type of Lesion, Promoter Doses, Carcinogen Route; Carcinogen Doses; Reference. Mutagenicity studies: Test System; Strain/Indicator; Metabolic Activation; Method; Dose range; Reference. A new file dictionary has been enclosed that is a result of minor changes to the file structure. All other documentation on file at the NTIS is still applicable.
