Are they quoting /referring to some other research that can be looked up? |
I think they are referring to data that are internal to their study, since they don't give a source for the 39% castrated vs. 61% intact dog distribution among the class of other types of tumors. I just sent you the PDF, so maybe you can tease that information out of the paper. They also have references for *cough* behavioral *cough* issues of castrated vs. intact dogs
