International Agency for Research on Cancer

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is part of the World Health Organization (WHO) and focuses on cancer research. Established in 1965, its mission is to identify the causes of cancer and promote measures to reduce its burden worldwide. IARC conducts studies on various factors, such as chemicals, lifestyle, and infections, and evaluates their links to cancer. The agency also classifies cancer risks and provides reliable information to help policymakers, researchers, and the public understand cancer prevention and control. Its work is crucial for improving global health and reducing cancer-related deaths.
