Carcinogen
A carcinogen is any agent that promotes the development of cancer. 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and carcinogen are carcinogens.
See 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and Carcinogen
Immunosuppression
Immunosuppression is a reduction of the activation or efficacy of the immune system.
See 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene and Immunosuppression
Sigma-Aldrich
Sigma-Aldrich (formally MilliporeSigma) is an American chemical, life science, and biotechnology company owned by the multinational chemical conglomerate Merck Group Sigma-Aldrich was created in 1975 by the merger of Sigma Chemical Company and Aldrich Chemical Company.

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