A review is made of studies on occupational cancer conducted in different countries in order to compare estimates of the attributable risks (i.e., the proportion of cancers occurring in the general population due to occupational exposure), and to identify the sources of variation. Estimates vary according to several factors, including different study designs and chiefly, different proportions of exposed workers in the geographical areas that have been investigated. For lung cancer, estimates ranged between 1 and 35%, with values of 10-15% occurring frequently; for bladder cancer, the range was between 1 and 19%. The implications of this variability in prevention programmes are discussed and the problems encountered in the identification and compensation of occupational cancer are examined.
对不同国家开展的职业性癌症研究进行了综述，以便比较归因风险（即一般人群中因职业暴露而发生的癌症比例）的估计值，并确定变异来源。估计值因多种因素而异，包括不同的研究设计，主要是所调查地理区域内暴露工人的不同比例。对于肺癌，估计值在1%至35%之间，10%至15%的值较为常见；对于膀胱癌，范围在1%至19%之间。讨论了这种变异性在预防方案中的影响，并研究了职业性癌症识别和补偿中遇到的问题。
