title: Cancer promotion in cells initiated by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other non-viral carcinogens.
abstract: Permanent membrane lesions that initiate cells to transformation by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other non-viral carcinogens are inherited by the daughter cells at mitosis. This causes elevation of intracellular pH and suggests promotion mechanisms.
