title: SV40 and human brain tumors.
abstract: Persons treated with polio vaccine presumably contaminated with SV40 did not develop more tumors within 20 years after vaccination than did those who had received SV40-free vaccine. Some intracranial tumors, however, might be more frequent among persons who have been treated with contaminated vaccine.
