What are the Challenges in Carcinogenicity Studies?
Several challenges can arise in carcinogenicity studies, including:
- Ethical Concerns: The use of animals in research raises ethical issues, leading to a push for alternative methods. - Cost and Time: These studies are expensive and time-consuming, often taking several years to complete. - Interpreting Results: Differentiating between [dose-response relationships] and understanding the relevance of animal data to human health can be complex.
