EPR Branch

Cancer control is receiving increased priority globally as governments recognize and respond to the non-communicable disease (NCD) agenda, led by the World Health Organization (WHO). As an agency of WHO, the Early Detection, Prevention and Infection (EPR) Branch at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has a pivotal role to support cancer prevention and early detection. This involves monitoring and evaluating existing cancer early detection and prevention programs with the goal to build on its own research activities in the areas of prevention, screening and early diagnosis research to provide the evidence-base for effective country level actions in the context of national cancer control planning and implementation.
