Abstract
The discovery that a non-steroidal oestrogen may cause malformations and neoplasia following transplacental administration in man has led to a considerable amount of experimental work on this type of carcinogenesis. In general, there are a number of features which suggest that this is unlikely to be a commonly occurring mode of carcinogenesis in man and the reasons for this are discussed and considered here together with some experimental justification for this position.
