The Contribution of Occupational Exposures to Lung Cancer. The overall importance of occupational agents as a cause of lung cancer has been a controversial subject since the 1970s. A federal report, released in the late 1970s, projected a surprisingly high burden of occupational lung cancer; for asbestos and four other agents, from 61,000 to 98,000 ...

Occupation and Cervical Cancer
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1995Data collected for a multicenter case-control study of invasive cervical cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix were analyzed with regard to occupation. Odds ratios comparing 481 invasive cases and 293 carcinoma in situ cases to 801 controls were calculated and adjusted for potential confounding factors.

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1975
In the last 25 yr U.S. men but not women over 55 have experienced a 30% rise in bowel cancer risk. One obvious possibility is that occupational risks have increased. As a possible prologue to a major occupational study, we have analyzed what published U.S. and English data exist on occupational mortality. Unfortunately, these data are not recent.

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1993
Exposure to certain industrial agents has been thought to have carcinogenic potential, both for employees who work closely with such agents and for the general population that comes in contact with them. Although case reports, laboratory studies, and epidemiologic analyses help to determine the carcinogenicity of implicated agents, each of these types ...

Preventive Medicine, 1976
Abstract 4-Aminobiphenyl, 2-naphthylamine, benzidine, 1-naphthylamine and 4-nitrobiphenyl are responsible for occupational bladder cancer in man. Bladder tumors are found in workers who make or use these substances and possibly in those who purify them. The manufacture of auramine and magenta is also associated with the disease.

Smoking and occupational cancers
Preventive Medicine, 1976Abstract The relative importance of tobacco smoking as a cofactor in occupational cancers is discussed. Where epidemiological evidence is available, relative effects for both agents, occupational carcinogens and tobacco smoke, can be evaluated; where it is not available, mechanistic considerations derived from animal studies are presented in an ...

Occupation and the Risk of Bladder Cancer
International Journal of Epidemiology, 1990The relationship between bladder cancer, occupation and exposure to a number of occupational agents was assessed in a case-control study conducted in the greater Milan area, Northern Italy. The case series consisted of 263 cases (219 males, 44 females) with histologically confirmed invasive bladder cancer, admitted to a network including major teaching

Occupational cancer prevention
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 1987Studies of occupational cancer are particularly significant for primary prevention of cancer. Firstly, most cancers, once identified, can be prevented by reasonably simple means, without impinging on personal freedom. Secondly, the prevention of occupational cancers represents a saving of lives and the elimination of illness during the most active ...
