There are many synthetic as well as natural preparations that have
been shown by strong scientific evidence to be causal agents in
promoting cancer.
Tau-fluvalinate, on the other hand, has been proven by the same
rigorous testing to be non-carcinogenic - ie does NOT cause cancer.
(It's still not recommended to eat Apistan strips, but not for the
cancer risk; anybody thinking of doing so please phone your therapist
now; if it's for dietary reasons you may try cornflakes instead -
they're not fattening either).
All the best,
Max

Here are a couple of Sources where you might be able to get info on
toxicity of insecticides. While there is always concern using "*icides"
requiring care limiting exposure, data on long term chronic effects is
poorly understood!
Fluvalinate is from a group of insecticides that is fairly safe showing
little mamalian toxicity, again chronic effects are not easily identified.
You can always contact a vendor for info , labels or material safety data
sheets.
