title: A unified approach to a class of stochastic carcinogenesis models.
abstract: Survival and hazard functions play a pivotal role in carcinogenesis modeling. This paper provides a unified approach to computing these two quantities by classifying a large class of carcinogenesis models from a computational point of view, and prescribes specific computational recipes according to this classification.
