Approaches to Cancer Prevention Based on an Understanding of N-Nitrosamine Carcinogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Understanding carcinogenesis is critical for development of rational approaches to cancer prevention. This paper uses N-nitrosamine carcinogenesis as an example. N-Nitrosamines are a large group of potent carcinogens. Approximately 300 different N-nitrosamines are carcinogenic. At least 30 animal species are responsive to their effects.
