Carcinogenicity of multiple chemicals simultaneously administered.

چکیده
The possibility that several carcinogens may act concurrently in organs such as the lungs and skin has assumed greater importance as the nec ognized possible agents increase for these sites. A wide range of effects, from inhibition through no effects to summation or even synergism must be considered. The dosage, type of agents, portal of entry, duration of exposure, site and type of tissue, species and strain of animal, and many other fac

Prediction of rodent carcinogenicity of further 30 chemicals bioassayed by the U.S. National Toxicology Program.
Recently the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) sponsored a comparative exercise in which different prediction approaches (both biologically and chemically based) were challenged for their predictive abilities of rodent carcinogenicity of a common set of chemicals. The exercise enjoyed remarkable scientific success and stimulated NTP to sponsor a second challenging round of tests, inviting ...
متن کاملPrediction of rodent carcinogenesis: an evaluation of prechronic liver lesions as forecasters of liver tumors in NTP carcinogenicity studies.
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) developed the chronic 2-year bioassay as a mechanism for predicting the carcinogenic potential of chemicals in humans. The cost and duration of these studies has limited their use to small numbers of selected chemicals. Many different short-term methods aimed at increasing predictive accuracy and the number of chemicals evaluated have been developed in atte...
متن کاملMulticomponent criteria for predicting carcinogenicity: dataset of 30 NTP chemicals.
This article is in response to the challenge issued to the scientific community by the National Toxicology Program to predict the carcinogenicity potential of 30 chemicals previously selected for long-term carcinogenicity testing. Utilizing the available toxicologic, genetic, and structural information on 30 chemicals previously selected for long-term carcinogenicity testing, we predict that 16...
متن کاملAnimal carcinogenicity studies: 1. Poor human predictivity.
The regulation of human exposure to potentially carcinogenic chemicals constitutes society's most important use of animal carcinogenicity data. Environmental contaminants of greatest concern within the USA are listed in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) chemicals database. However, of the 160 IRIS chemicals lacking even limited human exposur...
متن کاملAbsence of morphologic correlation between chemical toxicity and chemical carcinogenesis.
The experimental data set used to evaluate site-specific histopathologic correspondence between the morphologic end points of toxicity and carcinogenicity comprises 130 chemical carcinogenesis studies. Nearly 1500 sex-species-exposure-group experiments were evaluated for a) evidence of toxicity or/and carcinogenicity, b) dose-response relationships, c) site-specific correlations of toxicity and...
