The organotropism of the carcinogenic action may be related to a variety of organs and organ systems. It does not only depend on the chemical structure of the molecules but also on the daily dose. It is highly probable that N-nitroso compounds also act carcinogenically in human beings. Predictions as to the organotropism of the carcinogenic action in man cannot be made. N-nitroso compounds have to be regarded als 'multipotent'. Copyright © 1980 S. Karger AG, BaselPublicationOncology, 1980, Vol 37, Issue 4, p237ISSN0030-2414Publication typeArticleDOI10.1159/000225444
