Summary: Higher concentrations of oxalates were found in breast cancer tissue. Injecting oxalates into the mammary fatpad of mice induced malignant tumor formation.
Key Takeaways

This study found that breast cancer tissue had high levels of oxalates. Also, when mice had oxalates injected into their breast tissue, tumor formation occurred.
