Amazing roadmap for #IARCmonographs ... evidence on #carcinogenicity for many important #exposures will be evaluated in the upcoming 5 years. So excited to see #Electronic #nicotine #delivery systems & #cannabis #smoking on the priority list!

Eagerly looking forward to this talk by george davey smith. It is a pity to see such a promising method being misapplied. Very biref take-home notes from reading George's papers on uses/misuses of #Mendelian_Randomization on this thread: twitter.com/mahdi_iarc/sta…

Excellent points to consider before concluding #causality only from observational epi analysis by Marcus Munafò. Very short piece, and to the point: bmj.com/content/384/bm…

Our IARC study shows for #Cancer Control in LMICs we have to search for/target #Local #Cancer #RiskFactors . Cancer burden is highest in LMICs where lifestyle/exposures are different. #opium use accounts for a large proportion of cancers in #Iran
