title: Registry of experimental cancers of the National Cancer Institute.
abstract: This report describes the organization and functions of the Registry of Experimental Cancers and gives the chronology of events that led to its establishment. Currently 21,500 accessions have been coded; the vast majority are spontaneous and induced cancers, chiefly of rodents, and also a wide variety of nonneoplastic diseases. Accessions are accepted from contributors working in laboratories in this country and abroad. The material is available for study by responsible scientists, and a limited number of study sets is available for loan on request.
