findings of cancer biology as evidence of the models, as well as extensive bibliographies of …

Composed of contributions from an international team of leading researchers, this book pulls
together the most recent research results in the field of cancer modeling to provide readers …

Multistage models of carcinogenesis are increasingly used in the estimation of risks from
exposure to environmental agents. The two-stage model of carcinogenesis is routinely used …

" This book presents a systematic treatment of Markov chains, diffusion processes and state
space models, as well as alternative approaches to Markov chains through stochastic …

In the last ten years or so a number of papers have appeared, putting forward models of
varying degrees of mathematical complexity to describe some of the processes underlying …

The MVK two‐stage carcinogenesis model is one of the most widely accepted mechanistic
models in carcinogenesis modeling. However, due to a perceived difficulty in obtaining …
