A review of selected literature (1995-2009) on the carcinogenicity of trichloroethylene (TCE) : Chemical substances and biological agents

10 Jun 2010

The most informative of the cohort studies were consistent in giving limited evidence of an increased risk of cancer of the liver and biliary tract and a modestly elevated risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. [...] Specifically, the remit was to review the most recent 10-15 years of the literature, a period that in effect covers the time since the most recent expert evaluation of TCE’s cancer potential by a Working Group of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, 1995). [...] A brief overview of the knowledge database of TCE’s cancer potential (both in humans and laboratory animals) at the time of the IARC review was also included. [...] The most informative cohort studies consistently gave limited evidence of an increased (approximately two-fold) risk of cancer of the liver and biliary tract, and of a modest elevation (about 1.5-fold) in risk of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. [...] IRSST -. A review of selected literature (1995-2009) 3 on the carcinogenicity of trichloroethylene (TCE) To assist in interpretation of the more recent (1995-present) literature in the context of the earlier knowledge, it was also necessary to summarise the scientific understanding of TCE’s cancer potential as of 1995.
