The aufhors of this report commented that additional factors, such as malnutrition and hepatitis virus, which were absent in this patient, may be necessary for aflatoxin carcinogenesis in humans. Alternatively, the latent period for liver tumour formation may be greater than the 14-year follow-up period, or the exposure levels of aflafoxin in this subject were insufficient to provoke more serious toxicity.

DEFENSES AGAINST AFLATOXIN CARCINOGENESIS Footnotes to Table 2... 

In conclusion, I described some of our results of mycotoxin research, representing operational lines of defense against the potential of aflatoxin carcinogenesis in man through potential toxin transmission in the food supply Chemical, biological, and metabolic detoxification processes and mechanisms, and appropriate actional strategies are also discussed ...
