carcinogen
意味: A substance or agent capable of causing cancer in living tissue.
Carcinogens include chemical substances (such as asbestos and benzene), radiation (including ultraviolet light), and certain biological agents (like human papillomavirus). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies carcinogens into groups based on the strength of evidence. The adjective 'carcinogenic' means cancer-causing, and 'carcinogenesis' describes the process by which normal cells transform into cancer cells.
