This volume includes a consensus document drawn up by a working group of international experts in various fields of carcinogenesis which describes the miltistage and multifactorial nature of carcinogenesis, the different mechanisms of action of carcinogens, epidemiological and laboratory means for their identification and proposed principles and procedures for their possible use in the prediction and evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans.
Table of contents:
I. Multistage and multifactorial nature of carcinogenesis; II. Mechanisms of action of carcinogens; III. Identification of mechanisms of action of carcinogens; IV. Proposed principles and procedures for using information on mechanisms in evaluating carcinogenic risk to humans; V. References. of mechanisms of action of carcinogens; IV
The book reviews current understanding of mechanisms of carcinogenesis in relation to the use of such information in evaluating the carcinogenic risk of agents to humans.
