Cancer Registrar's Guide to Collecting Industry and Occupation

摘要

Cancer prevention program planners and researchers rely on cancer registrars to record the best information possible on potential cancer risk factors, including potentially hazardous jobs held by cancer patients during their working life. The usual (longest-held) occupation and industry of workers can reveal the national cancer burden by industry and occupation. Such information can also be used to help discover jobs that may have a high risk for cancer or other diseases and for which prevention efforts can be concentrated (or targeted).
