Many people are concerned that things they may come in contact with may cause cancer. Some of us turn to social media, internet searches, and friends or family for information. But it can be really hard to know which information is reliable and true.
The FactFinder provides accurate and reliable information about what does and does not cause cancer. We achieve this by summarizing the best scientific evidence-based information available from studies in humans and share this research with the public.
The Cancer FactFinder is now available in: Arabic, Mandarin, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
