Abstract
A new statistical parametric model of carcinogenesis is proposed. The focus is on tumor latency times. The model makes use of extreme value theory fol lowing the line initially explored by Pike [1] and further developed by Kle banov et al. [2]. In this paper, we make the first attempt to take account of the interdependence between the cells in an initiated tissue developing into a malignant tumor. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
