PubChemTox Get Carcinogen Classification

Overview

Get carcinogen classification data for a chemical compound from PubChem. Returns classifications from authoritative bodies including IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), NTP (National Toxicology Program), EPA, and others. IARC groups: Group 1 (Carcinogenic to humans), Group 2A (Probably carcinogenic), Group 2B (Possibly carcinogenic), Group 3 (Not classifiable). For example, arsenic (CID 5359596) is IARC Group 1 (Carcinogenic to humans), benzene (CID 241) is also Group 1, while caffeine (CID 2519) is Group 3. Use this to assess cancer risk associated with chemical exposure.
