The cancer In the rabbits was "even more malignant than those obtained in mice," he said. "The cancer spreads to practically all of the organs of the rabbit including the heart, the lungs and the liver." HE SAID THE "first extensive statistical study on this subject' (the possible relationship of tobacco to lung cancer) showed that all but 13 per cent of the 605 men with cancer of the lung were cigarette smokers and 97 per cent smoked more than one pack a day. Dr.

Graham said the statistical relationship was confirmed by 12 other studies in four different countries based on more than 6,000 human cases of lung cancer. In a study published in 1953, he said cancer was produced in '44 per cent of 81 mice by painting the skin of the back three times a week for one year with 1 tar from cigarette smoke. He cited the production of experimental cancers in three additional strains of mice as further evidence. Both in the mice and rabbit tests, he explained, it took about half the life span of the species to produce the cancer. Relating this to humans, Dr.

Gra ham said if a man smokes cigarettes excessively for 25 or 30 years, he would be between 40 and 50 years old "and by our findings he on the threshold of developing lung cancer."
