Carcinogenic
Potency Database |
| Description: |
"The
Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a widely
used resource on the results of chronic, long-term
animal cancer tests. It provides a single,
standardised and easily accessible database that
includes sufficient information on each experiment
to permit investigations into many research areas
of carcinogenesis. Both qualitative and
quantitative information on positive and negative
experiments are given, including all bioassays
from the National Cancer Institute / National
Toxicology Program (NCI/NTP) and results from the
general literature that meet a set of inclusion
criteria. Analyses of 5,000 experiments on 1,230
chemicals are presented." (CPBB Homepage) |
