NEW YORK — A new report from the American Cancer Society and other world health groups has identified “gaps in research” for 20 suspected carcinogens including perchloroethylene.
Entitled “Identification of research needs to resolve the carcinogenicity of high-priority IARC [International Agency for Research on Cancer] carcinogens,” the report intends to prioritize the compounds for additional research and scientific study that leads to a more definitive classification of the agents.
