Abstract
Biologically-based cancer risk assessmsent relies on mathematical models that represent the toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of the xenobiotic in the body. Physiologically-based toxicokinetic (PBTK) models are used as a tool for predicting the target tissue of dose a xenobiotic from different routes of exposure, extrapolating from high doses to low doses and extrapolating between species. This paper reviews the role of PBTK models and their limitations in biologically-based risk assessment.
