Using cell replication data in mathematical modeling in carcinogenesis

C J Portier et al. Environ Health Perspect. 1993 Dec.

Abstract

Risk estimation involves the application of quantitative models of dose versus response to carcinogenicity data. Recent advances in biology, computing, and mathematics have led to the application of mathematically complicated, mechanistically based models of carcinogenesis to the estimation of risks. This paper focuses on two aspects of this application, distinguishing between models using available data and the development of new models to keep pace with research developments.
