Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Measurement of birth defects is not used to gather evidence about whether a compound causes cancer in humans. Birth defects are usually associated with toxicology studies, while cancer studies focus on the development and growth of tumors. Bacterial screening for mutagenesis (the Ames test), animal tests, and epidemiological studies are all commonly used to investigate the potential carcinogenicity of a compound.
