Occupational risks for brain cancer were evaluated in a New Zealand Cancer Registry-based case-control study. The case subjects were 452 men aged 20 years or older registered under classifications 191 (Cancer of the brain) and 192 (Cancer of other and unspecified parts of the nervous system) of the International Classification of Disease (9th ed) from 1980 to 1984 for whom occupational information was available. The remaining 19,452 men with other cancers registered during an excess of professional and technical workers. An increased risk among workers in agriculture, forestry, and fishing was due to an excess of brain cancer in farmers, with the highest risk found for livestock farmers. Although many comparisons have been made, some of the findings support previous studies and several new hypotheses are suggested.
在一项基于新西兰癌症登记处的病例对照研究中，对脑癌的职业风险进行了评估。病例组为1980年至1984年期间根据国际疾病分类（第9版）第191类（脑癌）和第192类（神经系统其他和未指定部位的癌症）登记的452名20岁及以上男性，他们有职业信息。其余19452名患有其他癌症的男性中有过多的专业和技术工人。农业、林业和渔业工人的风险增加是由于农民中脑癌过多，其中畜牧农民的风险最高。尽管已经进行了许多比较，但一些研究结果支持以前的研究，并提出了几个新的假设。
