Known Human Carcinogens and the Importance of Toxicology in Cancer Research

Aim of this article is to review the literature about known human carcinogens and emphasize the importance of toxicology in cancer research. Cancer etiology is multifactorial with toxins playing an important role, what accentuates the importance of multidisciplinary approach to cancer research, with toxicology playing a key role.
