Likely to be carcinogenic to humans | Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 2005) |
- Under the U.S. EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 2005b), HCE is "likely to be carcinogenic to humans" based on evidence of multiple tumor types in both sexes of rats and mice (NTP, 1989 NCI, 1978).
- This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
