Anexo:Agentes del Grupo 1 de IARC - Cancerígenos para humanos

Sustancias, mezclas, y circunstancias de exposición en esta lista han sido clasificadas como Grupo 1 por la Centro Internacional de Investigaciones sobre el Cáncer (IARC por sus siglas en inglés: International Agency for Research on Cancer): El agente (mezcla) es cancerígeno para los humanos.[1]​ Las circunstancias de exposición implican exposiciones que son cancerígenas para los humanos. Esta categoría se utiliza cuando hay evidencia suficiente de carcinogenicidad en humanos. Excepcionalmente, un agente (mezcla) puede ser colocado en esta categoría cuando la evidencia de carcinogenicidad en los humanos es menos que suficiente pero hay evidencia suficiente de carcinogenicidad en animales de laboratorio y evidencia fuerte en humanos expuestos de que el agente (mezcla) actúa a través de un mecanismo de carcinogenicidad.

  1. This evaluation applies to the group of compounds as a whole and not necessarily to all individual compounds within the group.
  2. Evaluated as a group.
  3. Ethanol is not carcinogenic, but is metabolised to acetaldehyde, which is carcinogenic.
  4. There is also conclusive evidence that this agent (tamoxifen) reduces the risk of contralateral breast cancer.
  5. Specific radionuclides for which there is sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity to humans are also listed individually as Group 1 agents.
  6. There is also conclusive evidence that these agents have a protective effect against cancers of the ovary and endometrium.
