Abstract
This chapter briefly discusses the salient features of models of breast carcinogenesis. It is intended not to be an extensive encyclopedia of all models in the literature but to emphasize key features of the main models. The information presented here is very much the authors’ interpretations of selected data in the literature, which, hopefully, will stimulate spirited discussion and new ideas.
