Abstract excerpt
The two-stage clonal expansion model of cancer induction is tested on recorded and simulated cohort data of radon-exposed rats. Unfortunately, different versions of the model, for which radiation acts on different biological processes, can provide a good description of the data. This is the case for an initiation-transformation and an initiation-promotion model when they are applied to lung tumour data of...
