Mar 30, 2012 · IARC Monographs – List of Classifications by Cancer Site. We are pleased to announce the publication of a list of carcinogenic agents - by cancer site - with sufficient or limited evidence in humans. The list will be updated regularly as new classifications are announced. See List of Classifications by Cancer Site IARC Monographs website.
National and international health agencies use the Monographs as a source of scientific information on known or suspected carcinogens and as scientific support for their actions to prevent exposure to these agents. Individuals, too, use the information and conclusions from the Monographs to

Overview. Volume 100 of the IARC Monographs, A Review of Human Carcinogens, covers all agents previously classified by IARC as "carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)" and was developed by six separate Working Groups: Pharmaceuticals; Biological agents; Arsenic, Metals, Fibres, and Dusts; Radiation; Personal Habits and Indoor Combustions; Chemical ...
The IARC Monographs on the Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans identify environmental factors that can increase the risk of human cancer. Interdisciplinary Working Groups of expert scientists review the published studies and evaluate the weight of the evidence. Since 1971, more than 1000 agents have been evaluated.
The lists below are from IARC and NTP. More information on each of these known and probable human carcinogens can be found on their websites. To learn more about these agencies and how they study and classify cancer causes, see Determining if Something Is a Carcinogen.
