Armitage–Doll multistage model of carcinogenesis
From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia
The Armitage–Doll model is a statistical model of carcinogenesis, proposed in 1954 by Peter Armitage and Richard Doll, which suggested that a sequence of multiple distinct genetic events preceded the onset of cancer. The original paper has recently been reprinted with a set of commentary articles.
