Abstract

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-$\rho$-dioxin (TCDD) displays high toxicity in animals and has been implicated in human carcinogenesis. Although the mechanisms of TCDD-induced carcinogenesis are poorly understood, it considered to be non-genotoxic and tumor promoter. In this study, we investigated the tumor promotion effect of TCDD on the two-stage skin chemical carcinogenesis using hairless mouse (SKH1).(omitted)
