Mini Review: Carcinogenicity Statistics

The aim of carcinogenicity studies is to identify carcinogenic potential, properties, or hazards of a chemical. On these types of studies, statisticians and pathologists work closely together as the microscopic findings are routinely statistically analyzed. The areas of interest to both groups include the classification of tumors as fatal or non-fatal, tumor combinations, and the interpretation of the results. These topics are among those discussed within this paper.
