Some current perspectives on chemical carcinogenesis in humans and experimental animals: Presidential Address.

Abstract

Knowledge in chemical carcinogenesis now spans many disciplines and is so large a subject that many areas can be considered here only briefly or not at all. Similarly, in many cases references to reviews have been substituted for references to the original literature in order to keep the bibliography within manageable limits. Environmental Chemical Carcinogens for the Human I am very honored to have the opportunity to discuss some aspects of chemical carcinogenesis with you tonight. Those of you who know my husband, James A. Miller, and me could not have been surprised at my choice of this subject, for we have spent an exciting 35 years together in trying to ferret out some of the properties of chemical carcinogens and the changes that they cause in their target tissues.
