Dose-response analyses of the carcinogenic effects of trichloroethylene in experimental animals.
In lifetime bioassays, trichloroethylene (TCE, CAS No. 79-01-6) causes liver tumors in mice following gavage, liver and lung tumors in mice following inhalation, and kidney tumors in rats following gavage or inhalation. Recently developed pharmacokinetic models provide estimates of internal, target-organ doses of the TCE metabolites thought responsible for these tumor responses. Dose-response a...
متن کاملEmpirical analysis of BMD metrics in genetic toxicology part I: in vitro analyses to provide robust potency rankings and support MOA determinations.
Genetic toxicity testing has traditionally been used for hazard identification, with dichotomous classification of test results serving to identify genotoxic agents. However, the utility of genotoxicity data can be augmented by employing dose-response analysis and point of departure determination. Via interpolation from a fitted dose-response model, the benchmark dose (BMD) approach estimates t...
متن کاملComparison of cancer risk estimates based on a variety of risk assessment methodologies.
The EPA guidelines recommend a benchmark dose as a point of departure (PoD) for low-dose cancer risk assessment. Generally the PoD is the lower 95% confidence limit on the dose estimated to produce an extra lifetime cancer risk of 10% (LTD(10)). Due to the relatively narrow range of doses in two-year bioassays and the limited range of statistically significant tumor incidence rates, the estimat...
متن کاملApplication of the Margin of Exposure (MOE) approach to substances in food that are genotoxic and carcinogenic.
This paper presents the work of an expert group established by the International Life Sciences Institute - European branch (ILSI Europe) to follow up the recommendations of an international conference on "Risk Assessment of Compounds that are both Genotoxic and Carcinogenic: New Approaches". Twelve genotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals that can be present in food were selected for calculation of...
متن کاملPredicting the carcinogenicity of chemicals in humans from rodent bioassay data.
Regulatory agencies currently rely on rodent carcinogenicity bioassay data to predict whether or not a given chemical poses a carcinogenic threat to humans. We argue that it is always more useful to know a chemical's carcinogenic potency (with confidence limits) than to be able to say only qualitatively that it has been found to be a carcinogen. In a typical bioassay, a chemical is administered...
