IARC Monographs evaluations: call for public nominations of agents

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) encourages the general public, the scientific community, national health agencies, and other organizations to nominate agents for review in future IARC Monographs volumes.

Agents assessed for their potential to cause cancer in humans may include chemicals, mixtures, occupations, physical agents, biological agents, lifestyle factors, and anything else suspected of causing cancer in humans.

An international and interdisciplinary Advisory Group will review all public nominations and recommend those that it considers to be of high priority based on public health priorities, recent research, and research in progress.

To nominate an agent, please complete the online form (one agent per form) and the accompanying WHO Declaration of Interests by 30 November 2023.
