Princess Dina Mired, Past President of the Union for International Cancer Control, Member of WHO Expert Technical Group for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“No IARC Monographs. No independent, neutral, evidence-based research on carcinogens.
Who decides what causes cancer, scientists or industry?
The IARC Monographs are one of the last safeguards telling us what causes cancer, free from industry influence. What happens if that voice disappears?
In this episode, Princess Dina Mired and Dr Elisabete Weiderpass explain why the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs remain the only truly independent, evidence-based scientific research – free from industry influence – to inform the public about substances that may be carcinogenic to humans. Without IARC’s science, the narrative risks being shaped by those with the loudest voices, not the strongest evidence.
Without the Monographs, Who would you trust to tell you what causes cancer?
A powerful conversation on why independent evidence on cancer causes is not optional, it’s essential.
This conversation might change how you see global health forever.
Watch the full episode.
