Abstract

Welcome to the first session of the afternoon of this symposium on Genetic Toxicology: An Agricultural Perspective. Three excellent topics on urban and rural patterns of cancer incidence, cancer risks associated with agriculture, and extrapolation of mutagenicity testing to man will be presented during this session by a panel of distinguished investigators. All these, in one way or another, deal with application of epidemiological tools in our scientific endeavors in this field. As an epidemiologist, I would like to make a few remarks for a brief introduction.
