Completed RoC Evaluations

The Report on Carcinogens (RoC) is a congressionally mandated, science-based, public health document that NTP prepares. Substances listed in the RoC were evaluated for cancer hazards using a formal process and established listing criteria.

Completed cancer hazard evaluations listed on this page include evaluations of substances since 1996, or the 8th report prepared by NTP. This list includes categories such as:

Substances listed in the Report on Carcinogens.
Substances reviewed by NTP but not listed in the Report on Carcinogens.
Substances previously listed which have been removed from the report.

For each substance, information relevant to the cancer hazard evaluation is provided, including scientific review document, substance profile, meetings and reports related to the review of the scientific document, and public comments.

RoC monographs (a type of scientific review document) were initiated in 2013 are listed on the monograph webpage and in the table below.

Public comments and other meeting materials for evaluations completed prior to 2018 have been archived. Archived materials can be requested by using the corresponding link in the table.
