Cancer carcinogens are classified by several international and national agencies that conduct reviews on scientific evidence related to the cancer-causing risks of different substances. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is a key organization that seeks to identify the causes of cancer and uses a system of three groups to classify potentially carcinogenic substances. The IARC publishes its findings and evidence in monographs which can be viewed online at https://monographs.iarc.fr/agents-classified-by-the-iarc/.

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) which was formed from various American government agencies also provides valuable information on carcinogens and their classification in their Report on Carcinogens (RoC). The system used by the NTP categorizes carcinogens into two groups including those known to be human carcinogens and those that are reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens. Currently, the RoC contains approximately 250 exposures and substances.
