Occupational cancer is a problem that needs to be tackled across the European Union (EU). Estimates of the recent and future burden of occupational diseases indicate that occupational cancer is still a problem and will remain so in the future as a result of exposure of workers to carcinogens. The goals to which this review aims to contribute are to: - describe occupational exposure to carcinogens and cancer-causing or -promoting working conditions at European, national and workplace levels; - evaluate existing sources of information, identify major knowledge gaps and describe some new approaches needed to assess and prevent occupational cancer risks; - describe occupational cancer prevention measures at European, national and workplace levels; and - make some recommendations for filling in gaps in relevant knowledge needed to prevent effectively future risks of occupational cancer.^The report looks into relevant occupational factors: chemical, physical and biological exposures, as well as other possibly carcinogenic working environment conditions (such as shift and night work). It also examines opportunities to identify new causes or promoters of cancer. The issue of vulnerable groups of workers (for example women, young workers, workers experiencing high exposure to carcinogens, workers in precarious conditions) is addressed. Less attention will be paid to topics that have been reviewed in detail elsewhere, such as the burden of disease, recognition of and compensation for occupational cancers (which are covered in statistical data collection by Eurostat through the European Occupational Disease Statistics), and the working capacity of cancer patients (although reference is made to some reports on return to work). The target groups the report is aimed at are occupational safety and health (OSH) researchers and policy-makers, including social partners.^It may also be useful to OSH prevention stakeholders for priority setting, and to those who deal with workplace risk assessment.

This book is a comprehensive guide to occupational factors of malignant diseases. It discusses potentially work-related malignancies, in the context of exposure assessment, specific clinical and pathological features of occupational cancer and biomarkers of exposure and disease. Epidemiological data about risk ratios of the cancer in question are reviewed for various occupations and with exposure to specific carcinogens, carcinogenic mechanisms, host susceptibility factors (genetic and other) and other environmental and life-style risk factors. Aspects such as surveillance of workers exposed to carcinogens and strategies for prevention of occupational cancer are also discussed. Occupational Cancers is aimed at oncologists, pathologists, residents in training, clinical researchers, clinicians in occupational health, epidemiologists, pulmonologists, lawyers and public health officials.

The identification of occupational cancer risk factors and of carcinogens in the workplace is assuming increasing import ance in cancer epidemiology. This book, which contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Vancouver in June 1988, combines overviews by experts on substantive topics and methodologic issues of broad interest in occupational cancer epidemiology. Among the former are state of the art reviews emphasizing recent data and new and innovative analytic approaches. The substantive topics include discussion of cancer risks from exposure to complex organic mixtures, asbestos and man-made fibers, herbicides, radon, and electromagnetic fields. Risk assessment, exposure assessment, and analysis of occupa tional cohort studies are examples of the methodologic issues addressed. This book provides basic information and opens perspectives on new areas of research. In organizing our symposium we were greatly assisted by Betty Fata and Kim Rust of Venue West Conference Ltd.

The Montreal Occupational Cancer Study was the first study to address the problem of discovering occupational carcinogens by collecting detailed job exposure information in a case-control study. This book presents the methods and results of this ground-breaking study. The core of the book is the set of tables of results describing the statistical associations between nearly 300 occupational exposures and 20 types of cancer. Research methods are explained in detail. The book will surely provide an indispensible reference resource for decades to come for epidemiologists, toxicologists, and environmental health regulators interested in environmental carcinogens.

Cancers due to exposures in the workplace in developing countries have received little attention because of the overriding problems in those regions of communicable diseases, poverty, malnutrition, vulnerability to natural disasters and war. This book shows, however, that the global process of industrialization is resulting in increased exposures to occupational carcinogens in developing countries, owing to unsafe technology, bad working conditions, ineffective legislation on occupational safety and health and inadequate supervision. These factors are exacerbated by the fact that a workforce with generally poor health and nutritional status and which includes many women and children is more vulnerable to many diseases, including cancer. The transfer of hazardous industries and wastes from developed to developing countries is of particular concern. This publication brings together all of the available published data on occupational cancer in developing countries and presents the results of a survey carried out at IARC on common occupational exposures and measures that have been taken to control them. The overview indicates where information is lacking about the health effects of agents used in developing countries, many of which are banned or restricted elsewhere.
