He references this study because they didn't know about B vitamins, and a later study that showed that the mortality was caused by a lack of B vitamins, which are fat soluble, and not the absence of PUFAs, and this study clearly shows that the absence of PUFAs caused the transplanted cancer to shrink during the course of the study in the mice without lipids. The mice with PUFAs didn't die because they had B vitamins through the PUFAs,but none of them had a reduction of tumors and would have died from cancer, at a later date. If the mice had had B vitamins and the study had gone long enough, not only would there have been no increase or spontaneous cancer, but they probably would have cured themselves.

What do you think of it? I'm also a native German speaker and read the study now several times and indeed Ray's claim about fat-free diets preventing "spontaneous development of cancer" (which he clearly bases on this study from 1927) seems a bit misleading to say at least.
Also slightly disturbing:
mice on the lipidfree diet (even without getting injected with cancer) had a increased mortality and died already after around 3 weeks. On the next morning, those mice were found without brains, as it was eaten by their "lipidhungry comrade"
