Launch of a set of infographics on cancer data, risk factors, and preventive interventions in four ready-to-use formats for printing and sharing on social media

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is pleased to announce the launch of a set of IARC evidence-based infographics on cancer prevention in four ready-to-use formats, edited with the support of and in collaboration with the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).

In a survey conducted by IARC and ESMO in 2020 among oncology professionals, cancer researchers, and public health professionals, the need for communication material on cancer prevention from a trusted source ranked as the second most important need expressed.

The new Infographics Resource Centre responds to this need by providing a set of 20 infographics that are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 3.0 IGO license, are available in four ready-to-use formats (PDF for digital use, PDF for printing, Instagram image, and LinkedIn image), and clearly mention the scientific source of the data provided.

In addition to infographics that provide global cancer data, the Resource Centre includes infographics on specific cancer types (cervical cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer, and lung cancer) and on specific risk factors and preventive interventions (alcohol consumption, tobacco smoking, tobacco cessation, human papillomavirus [HPV] infection, HPV vaccination, and socioeconomic inequalities).

Visit the Infographics Resource Centre to discover, download, and widely share the infographics!

The IARC-ESMO Learning and Capacity-Building Initiative for Cancer Prevention aims to raise awareness about emerging issues in cancer research for cancer prevention and to invite researchers and professionals to learn about these topics from different perspectives.
