Childhood cancer risk factors

Dr Akram Ghantous, from Lebanon, is a scientist in the Epigenetics Group at IARC. His work examines cancer risk factors in the early-life period. Because childhood cancer is rare, IARC collaborates with partners around the world to collect data from many countries. This may help to identify risk factors at an early stage, or perhaps even before cancer develops.
