Osteosarcoma, leucosis, and tumors of the hypophysis, adrenals, thyroid gland, gastro-intestinal tract, liver, kidneys, ovaries, and other tissue appeared in rats after the injection of Ce/sup 144/. Tumors of the bones, liver, kidneys, and hematopoietic tissue predominated after the injection of 0.8 to 0.25 mu c/g of Ce/sup 144/; smaller quantities of Ce/sup 144/ gave rise to neoplasm of the endocrine glands. The incidence of osteosarcoma and the rapidity with which it appeared varied in proportion to the quantity of Ce/sup 144/ injected. The optimum radiation dose for osteosarcoma is approximately 50 krad, the minimum is 2.1 krad. Osteosarcoma develops rather more frequently in males. Neoplasms of the endocrine glands are more common in females. (auth)
