It is an essential activity in cancer prevention strategies to evaluate the available evidence on an agent's potential of being a carcinogen. IARC Monographs are systematic, key and authoritative reports on such evaluations for the past 60 years. The evaluation is a complex, lengthy, interactive and decisive process. We have developed a database fusion, chemo-informatics and text mining driven computational approach for prioritizing agents for the evaluation process.
At this site, we make the approach available to everyone so any chemical and non-chemical agent can be submitted to the prioritization procedure. Follow the instructions in the submit analysis tab for it.
