Carcinogen ic s

There are a number of suspected and proven cancer-causing chemicals, or external environmental factors, which account for most of the causes of cancer (about 80-90%), e.g., the tar present in cigarette smoke. There are also a number of internal factors [Pg.14]

Carcinogens are considered as a special class of chronic poisons and hence the subject of a specialised field of toxicology. [Pg.15]

Because of the different factors involved, not everyone necessarily responds in the same way to the same external and internal factors, as regards the cancer issue. [Pg.15]

Carcinogens, such as organic and inorganic chemicals with various biological actions, can act similarly to other toxic substances, with similar dose-response relationships but several distinct differences. [Pg.15]

There are also claims that some anti-cancer medicines can themselves induce carcinomatosis [7]. [Pg.15]
