Original quantitative researchProstate cancer risk by occupation in the OccupationalDisease Surveillance System (ODSS) in Ontario Canada

摘要

Introduction:Previous Canadian epidemiologic studies have identified associations between occupations and prostate cancer risk, though evidence is limited. However, there are no well-established preventable risk factors for prostate cancer, which warrants the need for further investigation into occupational factors to strengthen existing evidence. This study uses occupation and prostate cancer information from a large surveillance cohort in Ontario that linked workers’ compensation claim data to administrative health databases.
