Download or read book Occupational Cancer Epidemiology written by Pierre Band and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Occupational Cancers written by Sisko Anttila and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-10 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated new edition of a successful book is a multidisciplinary, comprehensive guide to occupational factors of malignant diseases. Building on the first edition, new research discoveries and their consequences in our understanding on carcinogenic mechanisms, diagnosis and attribution of occupational cancers are discussed. Examples of such discoveries are germline and acquired mutations of BAP1 in malignant mesothelioma, which have led to changes in diagnostic criteria, and carcinogen-specific genetic and epigenetic alterations in lung cancer. There are several new chapters, including gastrointestinal cancers, epidemiology of lung cancer, cancer of thyroid, and the role of primary health care in occupational cancer control. Occupational Cancers is aimed at experienced and trainee oncologists, pathologists, clinicians in occupational health, and pulmonologists, as well as epidemiologists, clinical researchers, lawyers and public health officials.

Download or read book Cancer Risk by Social Class and Occupation written by Eero I. Pukkala and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1995 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study deals with the vexed question of what groups in the general population run the risk of developing cancer. Based on information provided by the highly-regarded Finnish Cancer Registry, the survey considers the incidence of cancers affecting as many as 46 parts of the body and their links with 335 occupational categories. By adjusting the occupation-specific risk ratios for social class, restricting their study to a particular age-group and applying the same criteria to women as to men, the author strives to make the relationship between cancers and certain occupations as clear as possible. His results are shown to correlate well with those obtained from specific studies of occupational cancer. Factors related to a person's occupation seem to determine some cancer risks, while the overall incidence and types of malignancy appear to be associated with the way of life of one's social class. Smoking, diet and reproductive factors are discussed from this viewpoint. Of interest for future research, new connections between disease and occupation are indicated in some contributions. Epidemiologists, oncologists, environmentalists and those working in preventive medicine as well as in occupational and public health will find much to interest them in this clearly organized book.

Download or read book Research Methods in Occupational Epidemiology written by Harvey Checkoway and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1989-05-25 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational epidemiology has emerged as a distinct subdiscipline of epidemiology and occupational medicine, addressing fundamental public health and scientific questions relating to the specification of exposure-response relationships, assessment of the adequacy of occupational exposure guidelines, and extrapolation of hazardous effects to other settings. This book reviews the wide range of principles and methods used in epidemiologic studies of working populations. It describes the historical development of occupational epidemiology, the approaches to characterizing workplace exposures, and the methods for designing and implementing epidemiologic studies. The relative strengths and limitations of different study designs are emphasized. Also included are more advanced discussions of statistical analysis, the estimation of doses to biological targets, and applications of the data derived from occupational epidemiology studies to disease modeling and risk assessment. The volume will serve both as a textbook in epidemiology and occupational medicine courses and as a practical handbook for the design, implementation, and interpretation of research in this field.
Download or read book Case Studies in Occupational Epidemiology written by Kyle Steenland and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This casebook is designed for use in courses on epidemiology or occupational epidemiology. The chapters are based on actual studies and are written by the principal investigators in the field. The book is divided into four parts: cohort studies, case-control and proportionate mortality studies, cross-sectional studies, and surveillance and screening studies. A brief introduction to each part describes the study design, and a statistical appendix is included so that students can readily find the tools needed to answer analytical questions in the text. Questions in each chapter deal with study design, data collection, analysis, and interpretation, and complete answers are provided at the end of the chapters. Data sets accompany many of the chapters, and most of the analytical questions can be answered with a pocket calculator. The studies presented in this lucid, well-organized text involve a broad range of disease outcomes, including spontaneous abortion, carpal tunnel syndrome, kidney dysfunction, cytogenetic changes, ischemic heart disease, dermatitis, chronic renal disease, and several types of cancer. The exposures of interest are equally diverse, including VDT use, repetitive hand-wrist motion, heavy metals, carbon monoxide, diesel exhaust, lead, vinyl chloride, pesticides, solvents, silica, and acid mists. These outcomes and exposures cover many of the current issues in occupational health.
