These two Workshops will develop scientific publications that build on the reviews of the human carcinogens in the Volume-100 series of the IARC Monographs. The two major topics are “Tumour-concordance between humans and experimental animals”, and “Mechanisms involved in human carcinogenesis”.
The first Workshop will open with invited lectures on key issues and recent insights in toxicology and carcinogenesis, followed by discussions in subgroups and in plenary exploring how analyses of and insights from tumour-concordance and mechanisms can benefit from each other, and which additional data analyses should be done in preparation for the second Workshop.
The second meeting will then discuss the results of these analyses and their interpretation, and aim to reach consensus on the conclusions with regard to future hazard identification.
