Special issue devoted to occupational cancer in Africa. It reproduces some of the papers presented at the International Course on Detection of Health Hazards in Human Populations Exposed to Chemical Mutagens and Carcinogens held in Harare (Zimbabwe), 9-20 Sep. 1991. The papers concern: public health in Africa - from infectious diseases to cancer prevention (Vainio H., Matos E.); limitations of the epidemiology of cancer in Africa (Jack A.D.); importance of cancer registries in Africa for cancer surveillance (Jack A.D.); occupational hazards and reproduction (Lindbohm M.L., Hemminki K.); causes, mechanisms and prevention of environmentally-induced cancers (Weinstein I.B., Groopman J.D.); hereditary factors in human cancers (Sylla B.S.); chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei and sister chromatid exchanges in cytogenic surveillance (Anwar W.A.); viruses and human cancer in Africa (Jack A.D.); mycotoxins (Nyathi C.B., Dube N., Hasler J.A.); molecular approaches to epidemiological studies of aflatoxin and hepatocellular carcinoma (Wild C.P.); interactions between schistosomiasis and carcinogenesis (Hasler J.A., Naik Y.S., Nyathi C.B.).
