Both carcinogens have chemical characteristics in common. Memorial's laboratories have been working on these and a host of research projects on the influences of diet, heredity, radioactive elements on cancer...

Trypan blue enables the pathologist to distinguish finely between healthy and cancerous tissue...

Nor does any one else know for certain what causes Cancer...
