OCCUPATIONAL CANCER: HISTORY, EPIDEMIOLOGY, CARCINOGENES, REGISTRIES (REVIEW OF LITERATURE)

1 Institute for Occupational Health of AMS of Ukraine, Kiev

2 6-th Hospital, Kiev

Full article (PDF), RUS

The review highlights the history of occupational cancer, epidemiological studies in some branches of industry, perspectives and problems of epidemiological studies of occupational cancer in XXI century. The data on the availability of registries on on occupational cancer are laid down; the concept «occupational carcinogen» is considered and the information on the list of monographs of the International Agency on Research of Cancer (IARC), covering analytical reviews on carcinogens, is given.

Key words: occupational cancer, epidemiology, industry, registries, IARC
