There are several types of carcinogenicity studies, including:
- Chronic Carcinogenicity Studies: Long-term studies that monitor animals over their entire lifespan. - Subchronic Carcinogenicity Studies: Shorter-duration studies that can provide preliminary information on a substance's carcinogenic potential. - [In Vitro] Carcinogenicity Studies: Laboratory studies conducted on cell cultures to identify potential carcinogens before moving to animal testing.
