Inorganic arsenic is a human carcinogen associated with several types of cancers, including liver cancer. Inorganic arsenic has been postulated to target stem cells, causing their oncogenic transformation. This is proposed to be one of the key events in arsenic-associated carcinogenesis; however, the underlying mechanisms for this process remain largely unknown.
