Cancer Assessment

Weight of Evidence for Cancer (PDF) (34 pp, 213 K) Last Updated: 05/25/2000

WOE Characterization Framework for WOE Characterization
B2 (Probable human carcinogen - based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals) Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1986)
Known/likely human carcinogen Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996)
Basis:
  • Although the available human data are inadequate, 1,3-dichloropropene is characterized as "likely" to be a human carcinogen in accordance with the Proposed Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1996).
  • This may be a synopsis of the full weight-of-evidence narrative.
