EPA began revising the 1986 cancer guidelines in light of significant advances in our understanding of the processes of cancer development and the modes of actions of disease at the cellular level. The risk assessment guidelines are meant to be dynamic, flexible documents that would evolve to reflect the current state of the science and risk assessment practices.
