   What are IARC assessments of carcinogenicity based on?

   • IARC assessments of carcinogenicity are based on, and necessarily limited to, scientific evidence available at the time of the review. The evidence comes from epidemiologic studies, animal bioassays, pharmacokinetic/mechanistic experiments, and surveys of human exposure.

   How does the IARC select a carcinogenic agent?

   • The IARC staff makes the final selection of agents for review by taking into account the prevalence and intensity of exposure (of both occupational groups and the general population) and availability of sufficient literature for an evaluation of carcinogenicity, as well as advice from the Advisory Groups.

   Do IARC Working Groups review evidence of carcinogenicity?

   • Although IARC working groups have always conducted comprehensive reviews of evidence of carcinogenicity, advances in systematic review methods ( 10–15) provide a basis for more specific guidance to working group members, thereby enhancing consistency and transparency.

   How many carcinogenic agents have been evaluated?

   • The principles, procedures, and scientific criteria that guide the evaluations are described in the Preamble to the IARC Monographs. Since 1971, more than 1000 agents have been evaluated, of which more than 500 have been identified as carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic to humans.
