| Abstract |
An examination of the risk of pancreatic cancer associated with occupation, by industrial branch and job title was undertaken in a nationwide case-referent study in Finland. The source of the cases and referents was the Finish Cancer Registry. Increases in risk of pancreatic cancer were suggested for a small number of industrial branches and job titles, including stone mining, cement and building materials, pharmacists and sales associates in pharmacies, male wood machinists, male gardeners, female textile workers and male transport inspectors and supervisors. The exposures potentially implicated are discussed. In agreement with the overall results of epidemiologic studies conducted elsewhere, direct occupational determinants probably do not account for a substantial share of the aetiology of pancreatic cancer, at least in conditions resembling Finnish working environments some 15-40 years ago. |
