Preface

The role of carcinogenic agents in the development of human cancer is defined using a variety of human cells as experimental model systems. Therefore, the study of human cell transformation in culture by carcinogenic agents is of particular importance for understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying human carcinogenesis.
