Biological effect markers for exposure to carcinogenic compound and their relevance for risk assessment.

Critical reviews in toxicology - 1 Sept 1998

van Delft J H, Baan R A, Roza L

Abstract excerpt

In this review data are summarized on biomarkers that are used for biological effect monitoring of human populations exposed to genotoxic carcinogens. The biomarkers are DNA and protein adducts and cytogenetic effects. Most of these biomarkers are relevant for the process of carcinogenesis. Empha...
