What Are the Challenges in Toxicological Studies of HCC?
The study of HCC in toxicology faces several challenges:
Complex Etiology: The multifactorial nature of HCC makes it difficult to isolate specific toxicological factors. Long Latency Period: The long latency period between exposure to carcinogens and HCC development complicates epidemiological studies. Genetic Variability: Genetic differences among individuals affect susceptibility to toxins, complicating risk assessment. Environmental Interactions: Interactions between multiple environmental and lifestyle factors make it challenging to pinpoint causative agents.
