Methods for NCI studies in Nonhuman Primates

The NCI Laboratory of Chemical Pathology conducted a 36-year project (1961-1997) on lifetime carcinogenesis studies in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys. The CPDB includes lifetable analyses on 25 chemicals.

Some of the inclusion rules of the CPDB have been relaxed in order to include these monkey experiments. The following methodology has been adopted:
