Abstract
Estimations of the Ca content of mouse epidermis during exptl. methylcholan-threne carcinogenesis revealed two distinct phases: an immediate reduction in Ca content which persists at a fairly constant level for many wks. and a further reduction when the epithelial cells become cancer cells. Ca reduction in the hyperplastic epidermis is an important feature in this induced precancerous condition.
