internationally recognized experts to rigorously evaluate scientific 
evidence on the effectiveness of preventive interventions that may 
reduce cancer incidence or mortality.
    IARC is the specialized cancer agency of the World Health 
Organization. To accomplish its mission, the IARC Handbooks on Cancer 
Prevention program provides definitive, independent evidence-based 
evaluations of cancer-preventive interventions.
    The program was established more than 20 years ago to identify and 
assess which interventions can prevent cancer or detect cancer at an 
early stage, to reduce cancer cases worldwide and save lives. The 
handbooks are regarded as trustworthy sources of information by 
national and international health agencies around the world.
