商品簡介
Carcinogenesis is a multifaceted and multistaged disease that can be viewed as a form of chemical toxicity, and as is the case with toxic chemicals, the effects of carcinogens are often produced only within specific target sites or tissues. Thus, defining the mechanisms of target-site specificity of chemical carcinogens and determining relevance of such mechanisms in humans is of clear importance. This volume contains 13 reviews that focus on the factors that are involved in tissue-specific induction of cancers by chemicals. These reviews include information on chemical carcinogenesis, mechanisms of carcinogenesis, and pathophysiology of induced tumors. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
