Abstract
EPA's Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment call for use of mechanistic and other relevant information in making choices about the models to be used in extrapolating hazard estimates from high to low exposures. The Forum report on thyroid neoplasia proposes that, under clearly specified conditions, chemical carcinogenesis in thyroid follicular cells can be analyzed as a threshold phenomenon, rather than assuming low-dose linearity as EPA customarily does for carcinogenic compounds. Specifically, for chemicals that induce tumors only in the thyroid gland and alter pituitary-thyroid status, EPA scientists would use metabolic, toxicological, and ancillary data on preneoplastic end points to identify a NOAEL or LOAEL as the basis for a cancer potency estimate. The Forum report reviews the physiology and biochemistry of normal thyroid-pituitary function, discusses factors influencing thyroid carcinogenesis, and analyzes human data on thyroid hyperplasia and neoplasia.
