Carcinogen

A carcinogen is any agent that promotes the development of cancer. 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and carcinogen are carcinogens.

Tumor initiation

Tumor initiation is defined as "a process in which normal cells are changed so that they are able to form tumors".

See 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and Tumor initiation

Tumor promotion is a process in carcinogenesis by which various factors permit the descendants of a single initiated cell to survive and expand in number, i.e. to resist apoptosis and to undergo clonal growth.

12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate

12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), also commonly known as tetradecanoylphorbol acetate, tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a diester of phorbol. 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate are carcinogens.
