Carcinogenicity

Carcinogenicity is the ability of a substance to cause cancer in any living organism. It is a term used to refer to the potential of certain substances and environmental factors to increase the risk of cancer development in an organism. Carcinogenicity of a substance is determined by assessing the evidence of its potential to cause cancer in scientific studies. Carcinogenicity has a significant impact on public health, as it can inform the regulations of potentially harmful substances and can be used to find new treatments for cancer prevention.
