title: Calculating the hazard function and probability of tumor for cancer risk assessment when the parameters are time-dependent.
abstract: The probability of tumor and hazard function are calculated in a stochastic two-stage model for carcinogenesis when the parameters of the mode are time-dependent. The method used is called the method of characteristics.
