who is the iarc financed by
IARC was established 50 years ago through a resolution of the World Health Assembly as a functionally independent cancer agency under the auspices of WHO. Its programme of work is approved and financed by its participating states. IARCâs review confirms the recommendation in WHOâs 2002 âDiet, nutrition and the prevention of chronic diseasesâ report, which advised people to moderate consumption of preserved meat to reduce the risk of cancer.
