IARC hosts the Advisory Group to Recommend Priorities for the IARC Monographs during 2025–2029

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is hosting the meeting of the Advisory Group to Recommend Priorities for the IARC Monographs during 2025–2029 on 19–22 March 2024 in Lyon, France.

An Advisory Group of 28 scientists from 22 countries is meeting to recommend priorities for the IARC Monographs programme from a list of agents nominated by the general public, the scientific community, national health agencies, and other organizations.

IARC periodically convenes such Advisory Groups to ensure that the IARC Monographs evaluations reflect the current state of scientific evidence relevant to carcinogenicity.

The Advisory Group will recommend a broad range of agents with high, medium, or low priority for evaluation by the IARC Monographs programme. The recommendations of the Advisory Group will be published in The Lancet Oncology in April 2024.
