Certain industries show links to specific cancers. Workers in rubber, boot/shoe, and wood dust industries face higher risks for various cancers, including nasal and bladder, while PCB exposure is linked to gastrointestinal and skin cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Epidemiology
  • Environmental Health
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • Epidemiologic evidence linking specific industries to cancer is reviewed.
  • Focus on industries not covered elsewhere, including agriculture and construction.
  • Surveillance data on cancer mortality by industry from US death certificates is discussed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review epidemiologic evidence on selected industries and cancer.
  • To describe current research on cancer in agricultural and construction industries.
  • To discuss surveillance data on cancer mortality in relation to industry.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing epidemiologic evidence.
  • Analysis of surveillance data on cancer mortality.

  • Inclusion of International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifications.

    • Main Results:

    • Rubber industry: bladder, leukemia, stomach, lung cancer (sufficient evidence).
    • Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs): gastrointestinal, hematologic neoplasms, malignant melanoma (limited evidence).
    • Boot and shoe industry: nasal adenocarcinomas (sufficient evidence).
    • Hairdressers/barbers: bladder cancer (limited evidence).
    • Wood dust exposure: nasal sinus/paranasal cavity cancer (sufficient evidence), laryngeal cancer (limited evidence).
    • Petroleum industry: leukemia, lymphatic/hematopoietic neoplasms, malignant melanoma (limited evidence).

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational exposures in various industries are associated with increased cancer risks.
    • Evidence ranges from sufficient to limited for different industry-cancer associations.
    • Further research and surveillance are crucial for understanding and mitigating occupational cancer risks.
