The December 1992 conference approached the question of carcinogenesis by considering current insights into how the adverse reactions produced by some chemicals are the result of interactions with specific cellular receptors. The proceedings are divided into sections covering receptor biology, animal models, modeling, and risk assessment. The topics covered include molecular basis of dioxin actions on rodent and human target tissue; development of transgenic mouse models of skin carcinogenesis; evidence for the role of the Ah receptor in response to dioxin; a model of effects of TCDD on expression of rat liver proteins; and receptor-mediated toxicity and implications for risk assessment.
