VOLUME 144: METALLIC LEAD AND INORGANIC LEAD COMPOUNDS; CADMIUM AND CADMIUM COMPOUNDS
Lyon, France
19–26 October 2027
CALL FOR DATA
Closing date: 14 September 2027
IARC is interested in locating studies that are relevant to the carcinogenicity of the agents that will be reviewed in this volume. This includes primary studies that are pertinent to the evaluation, including epidemiological studies of cancer, cancer bioassays in experimental animals, and mechanistic studies relevant to the key characteristics of carcinogens. Studies may be excluded if they reported no original data on epidemiological or toxicological end-points (e.g. review articles). Eligible studies should be published or accepted for publication in the publicly available scientific literature. Unpublished regulatory study reports that are publicly available in their final form on a government website may be submitted, if the submitter provides a link to the electronic locations and relevant page numbers where the study has been made available. Such studies may be considered by the Working Group (at its discretion), provided that they contain enough detail for the Working Group to provide its own independent scientific review. In addition, IARC is interested in receiving data relevant to human exposure to the agent(s) under evaluation, if they are or will be made publicly available by the time of the meeting. Please see the IARC Monographs Preamble for details of the types of studies that may be reviewed.
Electronic reference lists in RIS format may be submitted by email (imo-secretary@iarc.who.int). To submit large amounts of material, including copies of articles, please contact us by email (imo-secretary@iarc.who.int) for further information before submitting. To allow adequate time for the Working Group that will develop this volume to consider all studies, please send your list of references as soon as possible and before the closing date. In exceptional cases, the Working Group may elect to consider studies that become available after the closing date.
