	Francis Peyton Rous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Francis Peyton Rous (October 5, 1879, Texas– February 16, 1970, New York City) was an American pathologist whose discovery of cancer-inducing viruses earned him a share of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1966.
		Rous grew up in Baltimore and was educated at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Michigan.
		In 1910 Rous found that sarcomas in hens could be transmitted to fowl of the same inbred stock not only by grafting tumour cells but also by injecting a submicroscopic agent extractable from them; this discovery gave rise to the virus theory of cancer causation.
