Launch of a teaching toolkit on “Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans”

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new teaching toolkit on “Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans”, developed with the support of and in collaboration with the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).

This new open-access resource is available on the IARC Learning space of the World Health Organization (WHO) Academy online learning platform. It is the third in a series of teaching toolkits on Cancer Research for Cancer Prevention, following the toolkits on “The Rationale and Scope of Cancer Research for Cancer Prevention” and “Cancer Epidemiology: Describing and Understanding Cancer Development”.

Are you involved in teaching evidence-based cancer prevention to clinicians, researchers in various health disciplines, scientific and medical journalists, health and environmental regulators, cancer control advocates, or funding agency staff and collaborators?

Then these ready-to-use toolkits are for you. They include modifiable PowerPoint slides, suggested quizzes and group activities, links to relevant data visualization tools, and references. Published under the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO licence, they can be freely downloaded, modified, adapted to your context, and translated.

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.
