Recent advances in occupational cancer
Abstract:
The contribution of occupational and environmental exposures to the etiology of cancer is a topic of considerable scientific and public interest. If an occupational environmental exposure is associated with cancer in man, then both the exposure and the disease are preventable by appropriate protection. In order to enhance the awareness and timeliness of new information concerning occupational cancer, the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine in conjunction with the Northern California Occupational Health Center and the National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health, the American Cancer Society sponsored a two day meeting in San Francisco at the end of 1983. Five of the presentations are highlighted in this review. In addition, twenty special questions of clinical relevance concerning occupational and environmental cancers are reviewed with the consensus answers given.
