Abstract
Feeding the Egyptian toad Bufo regularis with oil of the chenopodium plant induced hepatocellular carcinomas in 23% of the animals, and metastases of the primary liver tumors appeared in the kidneys of 6 toads. The earliest evidence of tumors appeared after 3 months of treatment. The average latent period of tumor induction was 3.6 +/- 0.4 months. It is speculated that oil of chenopodium may be one of the constituents of Chenopodium ambrosoides which is responsible for tumor induction in the toads B. regularis.
