Mission and Objectives[edit]

The primary mission of IARC is to promote international collaboration in cancer research. The agency aims to:

Identify the causes of cancer.
Elucidate the mechanisms of carcinogenesis.
Develop scientific strategies for cancer prevention and control.

IARC conducts epidemiological and laboratory research and disseminates scientific information through publications and meetings.

Research Programs[edit]

IARC's research programs are organized into several sections and groups, each focusing on different aspects of cancer research:

Epidemiology[edit]

The Epidemiology section studies the distribution and determinants of cancer in human populations. It aims to identify risk factors and protective factors associated with cancer.

Carcinogen Identification[edit]

IARC is well-known for its work in identifying and classifying carcinogens. The agency publishes the "IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans," which assess the carcinogenicity of various substances.

Molecular Biology[edit]

Research in molecular biology at IARC focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms that lead to cancer development. This includes studies on DNA damage and repair, oncogenes, and tumor suppressor genes.

Prevention and Implementation[edit]

This program aims to translate research findings into effective cancer prevention strategies. It involves the development of guidelines and recommendations for reducing cancer risk.

Collaborations and Partnerships[edit]

IARC collaborates with numerous international organizations, research institutions, and governments to advance cancer research. These partnerships facilitate the sharing of data, resources, and expertise.

Publications[edit]

IARC publishes a wide range of scientific reports, monographs, and journals. These publications are essential resources for researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals worldwide.
