[Predictive value of short-term assays of chemical carcinogenesis].
Many agents of our surroundings are mutagenic, and a significant number of the mutagenic agents are carcinogenic. It is then useful to evaluate the short-term screening test allowing to predict the carcinogenic effect of chemicals. The authors make a summary about the predictive value of the existing assays, and write about the need of the systematic use of a convenient battery of tests to detect carcinogenicity in every product to which the human being may be exposed.
