IARC–NCI Scientific Workshop on methods to assess potential biases in human cancer studies

On 17–21 October 2022, 37 scientists from 12 countries met in Lyon to participate in a Scientific Workshop on Epidemiological Bias Assessment in Cancer Hazard Identification, which was jointly convened by the Monographs programme of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics of the United States National Cancer Institute (NCI). The aim of the workshop was to bring together global experts in cancer epidemiology and statistical methodology to develop a toolkit of methods to evaluate bias and confounding in cancer epidemiology studies.

The workshop materials will result in the publication of a new volume in the authoritative IARC Scientific Publications series Statistical Methods in Cancer Research.

An article about the workshop has been published in the latest issue of the IARC Monographs newsletter.
