The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) on this Web site is an updated combined plot that is not published elsewhere in its entirety. Results from experiments, both general literature and NCI/NTP, are included under the chemical name and sorted alphabetically in a choice of 4 formats: (1) PDF of the plot format that has been published, (2) a PDF of the screen readable format (3) a tab-separated format and (4) Excel format. Results are included for 6540 experiments on 1547 chemicals.

A brief description of each field in this published plot format uses an example of one experiment.

A more detailed guide to the plot describes each variable in the order in which it appears. An example of one experiment is used as a guide to the results.

Methods used to develop the CPDB describe sources of data, inclusion criteria, choice of tissue and tumor to include, standardization of daily dose-rate for each species and estimation of TD₅₀. Information is also provided about diversity of bioassay designs in the CPDB, e.g., dose ranges tested, number of dose groups, and the frequency of testing per chemical.
