The Office of the Report on Carcinogens — headed by
Ruth M. Lunn, Dr.P.H
— coordinates one of the NTP's hazard evaluation activities. The Office of the RoC's scientific staff, with assistance from the RoC support contract staff, prepares the
Report on Carcinogens
, a congressionally mandated report that identifies substances or exposure circumstances that may pose a hazard to human health by virtue of their carcinogenicity. Substances are listed in the report as either known or reasonably anticipated human carcinogens.
The Office of the RoC:
conducts cancer hazard evaluations of substances of potential concern
convenes scientific review meetings and workshops
prepares the draft RoC for submission to the Secretary, HHS
serves as a scientific resource for information on environmental exposures and cancer hazards
