Summary Section 6. Evaluation and rationale Evaluation
7 Evaluation du niveau de preuve Cancer in humans Sufficient evidence Limited evidence Inadequate evidence Evidence suggesting lack of carcinogenicity Cancer in experimental animals Sufficient evidence Limited evidence Inadequate evidence Evidence suggesting lack of carcinogenicity Mechanistic and other relevant data Mechanistic data weak, moderate, or strong? Mechanism likely to be operative in humans? Overall evaluation Group 1 Group 2A Group 2B Group 3 Group 4 Carcinogenic to humans Probably carcinogenic to humans Possibly carcinogenic to humans Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans Probably not carcinogenic to humans
8 Données humaines Cancer in experimental animals Cancer in humans Mechanistic and other relevant data Preamble, Part B, Section 6(a) Sufficient evidence Causal relationship has been established Chance, bias, and confounding could be ruled out with reasonable confidence Limited evidence Causal interpretation is credible Chance, bias, or confounding could not be ruled out Inadequate evidence Studies permit no conclusion about a causal association Several adequate studies covering the full range of exposure levels are mutually consistent in not showing a positive association at any Evidence suggesting lack of carcinogenicity observed level of exposure Conclusion is limited to the cancer sites and conditions studied
9 Données animales (cancéro) Cancer in humans Cancer in experimental animals Mechanistic and other relevant data Preamble, Part B, Section 6(b) Sufficient evidence Causal relationship has been established through either: - Multiple positive results (2+ species, studies, or sexes of GLP study) - Single unusual result (incidence, site/type, age at onset, or multi-site) Limited evidence Data suggest a carcinogenic effect but: (e.g.) from a single study, unresolved questions, benign tumours only, promoting activity only Inadequate evidence Studies permit no conclusion about a carcinogenic effect Adequate studies in at least two species show that the agent is not carcinogenic Evidence suggesting lack of carcinogenicity Conclusion is limited to the species, tumour sites, age at exposure, and conditions and levels of exposure studied
10 Données mécanistiques Cancer in humans Cancer in experimental animals Mechanistic and other relevant data Preamble, Part B, Section 6(c) Are the mechanistic data weak, moderate, or strong? Can the steps of each mechanism be described? Has each mechanism been established? Are there consistent results in different experimental systems? Is the overall database coherent? Has each mechanism been challenged experimentally? Are there studies demonstrating that the suppression of key mechanistic processes leads to the suppression of tumour development? Search for alternative explanations: Could multiple mechanisms be involved? Could different mechanisms operate in different dose ranges, in Is the mechanism humans and experimental animals, or in a susceptible group? likely to be operative Note: An uneven level of support for different mechanisms may reflect that in humans? disproportionate resources were focused on one mechanistic hypothesis
