Abstract:
This commentary is written in response to a recent commentary in Carcinogenesis that provides several viewpoints on the International Agency for Research on Cancer's (IARC) Monographs program on cancer hazard identification. This commentary offers an alternative viewpoint of the role of cancer hazard identification derived from cancer epidemiology studies in risk characterization, as well as clarification on the previous commentary's interpretation of the purpose of the Monographs and other programs of cancer hazard identification and how IARC communicates the findings of the Monographs.
