A cancer slope factor gives the percent increase in the risk of getting cancer associated with a dose of a toxin (in mg [milligram] of toxin per kg [kilogram] of body weight) every day for a lifetime. ... A risk assessor will apply cancer slope factors and unit risks to test results to calculate how many more cancer cases a population might be likely to see if that population had a lifetime of exposure to that amount of a toxin. ... Cancer slope factors and unit risks are usually based on tests on laboratory animals. Sometimes (but rarely) they are based on human health studies from accidental exposure. 4, record 1, English, - cancer%20slope%20factor

Il est exprimé comme l'inverse d'une dose [...] et représente le nombre de cancers prédits par unité de dose. Le risque de cancer attendu correspond au produit de la dose d'exposition par le coefficient de cancérogénicité. 1, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20canc%C3%A9rog%C3%A9nicit%C3%A9
