For example, IARC considers there to be strong evidence that both tobacco smoking and eating processed meat can cause cancer, so both are listed as “carcinogenic to humans.” But smoking is much more likely to cause cancer than eating processed meat, even though both are in the same category.
IARC group 1 Carcinogens are substances, chemical mixtures, and exposure circumstances which have been classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). This category is used when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in humans.
Agents are assigned to either Group 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans) or Group 2B ( possibly carcinogenic to humans ) on the basis of epidemiological and experimental evidence of carcinogenicity and mechanistic and other relevant data.
