CHEMICAL CARCINOGENS ...…what we know and don’t know about the relationships between exposure to certain chemicals and the development of cancers!
A Review of Cellular Biology • cell make-up • membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, etc. • chromosomes • genes • cancer = malignant, unrestrained and uncontrolled growth of cells
Factors Influencing Cancer Development • occupation • geographic factors • ethnicity • socioeconomic • environmental • personal habits • other considerations
Basic Categories of Carcinogens • Chemicals • Physical agents • Biological factors
Other Information National Toxicology Program http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/known.pdf
