摘要

The two-parametric Avrami-Dobrzyński model, originally based on the condensed matter physics for phase transitions, was applied to the cumulative populational mammary cancer data of laboratory rats. The joint effect of parity, irradiation and BRCA1 mutation on breast cancer incidence was analysed. The study showed that the proposed model fits well with the data points, however, the values of parameters differ regarding the investigated group of animals. It was concluded that both model’s parameters, which relate to the dimension of carcinogenesis dynamics and the age distribution, are good candidates for cancer risk assessment regarding different risk factors.
