Chemically and Metabolically Induced DNA Adducts: Relationship to Chemical Carcinogenesis

  • Chapter
Aging, Carcinogenesis, and Radiation Biology

Abstract

It is clearly impossible within the assigned scope to give a complete literature review and overview of this enormous field. Therefore, it is inevitable that this chapter will reflect my own biases, interests, and research. In the literature citations, emphasis will be placed on reviews, but important original papers will be covered.
