The paper reviews data on the occupational risk factors, which role in the etiology of breast cancer in women has been analyzed and estimated in the epidemiological studies. The results of the studies are presented and discussed. An increased incidence or risk of death from breast cancer was observed in some studies among teachers, nurses and physicians, managerial occupations, beauticians and hairdressers, chemists, telephone and telegraph operators, workers of the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Some epidemiological studies indicate that breast cancer incidence might be related to occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields, ionizing radiation, low physical activity, organic solvents, selected pesticides. However, owing to inconsistency of the study results and methodological weaknesses (imprecise classification of exposure, low response rate, uncontrolled confounding) no definite conclusion can be drawn.
本文回顾了有关职业风险因素的数据，在流行病学研究中已对其在女性乳腺癌病因学中的作用进行了分析和评估。文中呈现并讨论了这些研究结果。部分研究观察到，教师、护士、医生、管理人员、美容师和美发师、化学家、电话和电报接线员、制药和化工行业工人中，乳腺癌发病率或死亡风险有所增加。一些流行病学研究表明，乳腺癌发病率可能与职业接触电磁场、电离辐射、低体力活动、有机溶剂、某些农药有关。然而，由于研究结果不一致以及方法学上的缺陷（暴露分类不精确、应答率低、混杂因素未得到控制），无法得出明确结论。
