Opis

Covers the research on carcinogenicity, and the design and interpretation of carcinogenicity experiments. This title presents mouse, rat, and human carcinogenicity data for the liver, kidney, breast, cervix, prostate, hematopoietic system, colon, skin, urinary bladder, mouth, stomach, thyroid, and pancreas.
