An increase in the concentration of DMBA resulted in a corresponding increase in the incidence of malignant tumors of the submandibular glands in both hamsters and rats. Implantation of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg. carcinogen pellets in the submandibular glands of rats and hamsters resulted in different types of tumors in the two species. More squamous cell carcinomas were produced in the rats, while more sarcomas were produced in the hamsters. This statistically significant difference may be a result of tissue or species specificity. This hypothesis needs further investigation due to the complex nature of carcinogenesis.
