ABSTRACT The Armitage Doll model demonstrates that the impact of age-dependent exposure to carcinogenic factors depends on whether the induced change occurs early, at the midpoint or late in
carcinogenesis. 70 years on, updated modelling shows that their epidemiological observations still provide insight into clinical observations and their underlying molecular mechanisms.
