Models for Carcinogenic Risk Assessment

Models for carcinogenic risk assessment.

approach is the recognition that the response to a carcinogenic agent depends on the rate of exposure. For the radioactive agents the priority for the study of the so-called dose-rate effects appears to belong to Upton (3). A review (4) indicates that important dose-rate effects exist also for certain chemical carcinogens. Another item that I miss in Comnfield's approach is the phenomenon of sy...

Models for carcinogenic risk assessment.

Statistical issues in carcinogenic risk assessment.

Considerable progress has been made on the development of a variety of analytical methods to aid in the carcinogenic risk associated with exposure to both occupational and environmental agents. Although the development of these methods has been accompanied by consideration of many statistical issues, there are many areas where additional effort could be directed if these analytical methods are ...

Appropriate models and an understanding of carcinogenic mechanisms--requirements for hazard risk assessment.

Given the immense variety of compounds developed for introduction into the human environment, appropriate carcinogen risk assessment is essential. One of the responsible international bodies recognized as providing a lead in this endeavour is the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), primarily through the Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans. However, serio...
