Chemicals that induce cancer have been subdivided into two broad groups: genotoxic and nongenotoxic carcinogens. Genotoxic chemicals or their metabolites interact directly with DNA to induce mutations or chromosomal alterations. In a twostage liver initiation-promotion experimental model, genotoxic agents are initiators. Fixation and replication of the chemical-induced DNA damage by DNA synthesis before it is repaired are essential for mutation induction. Thus mutagens are more effective carcinogens at doses that induce a proliferative response or in normally proliferating cells (Pitot and Sirica, 1980).  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - genotoxic%20agent
