Background: Chronic exposure to Cr(VI) causes cell transformation.

Results: Cr(VI)-transformed cells exhibit activated EGFR, reduced ROS generation, and development of apoptosis resistance.

Conclusion: Constitutive activation of EGFR promotes tumorigenesis of Cr(VI)-transformed cells.

Significance: Our findings provide a new understanding on carcinogenic mechanisms of not only Cr(VI) but also other metals, such as arsenic and nickel. It also can be used to formulate cancer prevention strategies.
