A NEW APPROACH TO CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT: AN OVERVIEW
This book explores a new approach to cancer risk assessment and carcinogenic substances. It has recently become apparent that the pathogenesis of cancer is closely connected with apoptotic cell death and the resulting deregulation of cell proliferation. Identifying agrochemicals and other harmful carcinogens will become increasingly important in the context of climate change which favours the propagation of certain insects, moulds, and invasive plant species.
