that suggest that carcinogenicity is inherently related in some way to other toxic effects produced by a chemical. However, some investigators have concluded that those correlations, and possibly estimates of carcinogenic potency, are determined in some way by the bioassay design or the mathematical and statistical methods used to estimate potency and investigate the correlations, rather than by inherent biologic properties of the agents.

for modifying the design of the bioassay, for modifying the process of selecting chemicals for testing, and for augmenting the results of the bioassay with additional testing to improve risk assessments. The committee's conclusions are presented in Chapter 5 with the recommendations of the majority of the committee concerning the better use of bioassays, specific results from bioassays, and other types of data to assess carcinogenic hazards in human populations.
