This comprehensive publication draws together the important aspects of carcinogen-cell interaction. This interesting work describes the regulation of normal cell proliferation, cellular responses to carcinogen damage, the biologic consequences of cellular DNA modification, the structural and genomic changes resulting from carcinogen insult, and the possible involvement of such changes in the...
