The age distribution of human cancer for carcinogenic exposures of varying intensity
American Journal of Epidemiology
|November 1, 1977
Abstract:
The time and age dependence of cancer incidence rates resulting from various type of carcinogenic exposure are calculated and compared with observed cancer incidence rates. Implications for the detection of increased cancer incidence are discussed. The calculations assume that exposure affects one of several changes necessary for malignant cell transformation.
