IARC’s Long-Standing Commitment to Cancer Prevention

As its establishment⁣ in 1965, IARC scientists have focused on cancer ⁣research aimed at prevention. The agency collaborates wiht global partners to identify cancer causes, develop screening and early detection programs, and provide‍ evidence-based recommendations to policymakers to improve public‍ health.

A Global Challenge Requiring International ⁣Collaboration

Cancer represents a meaningful global health challenge, being a leading cause of death worldwide and incurring significant economic and social costs. IARC’s promotion of international collaboration in cancer research is increasingly crucial given the growing cancer burden and potential limitations in healthcare and research funding.
