Abstract The increased use of a multitude of short-term tests as predictors of carcinogenicity has brought with it an information explosion which has the potential of either inundating the author with an unmanageable volume of data or it could prove to be invaluable with respect to developing predictive methods as well as providing mechanistic information. The author has been interested in developing methodologies which could use the accumulated data for the latter purposes. Accordingly, the author has taken two approaches which have culminated in the development of CASE (Computer Automated Structure Evaluation method) and CPBS (Carcinogenicity Prediction and Battery Selection method). Each of these, although of proven usefulness, is still undergoing further refinement. In addition, the two approaches can be coupled and the interaction increases predictive capabilities as well as decreasing the cost. (Copyright (c) 1986, Alan R. Liss, Inc.)
