title: Identification of genotoxic and epigenetic carcinogens in liver culture systems.
abstract: Liver culture systems are available for identifying the DNA reactivity of carcinogens and a cell membrane effect, which appears to be associated with neoplasm-promoting ability. Using these and other approaches, carcinogens can be categorized as genotoxic or epigenetic. This distinction has implications for risk assessment.
