Many countries have used their tumor registries to conduct studies on cancer and occupation. In the past, the Quebec Tumor Registry (QTR) has collected information on occupation of cases. The form currently in use has a space to include this information but it is not mandatory to do so. Among male cases of naso-sinusal, pleural and ocular cancer, diagnosed between 1975 and 1979, and aged 16 to 64, 72% had information on occupation. The occupation registered at the QTR and the occupation given by the case himself during epidemiological studies on bladder cancer and leukemia are respectively the same in 64% and 69% of cases. The association between mesothelioma and work in asbestos related industries was not found in the present study. Explanations and recommendations are given.
许多国家利用其肿瘤登记处开展癌症与职业方面的研究。过去，魁北克肿瘤登记处（QTR）收集了病例的职业信息。目前使用的表格有填写该信息的空格，但并非强制要求填写。在1975年至1979年间诊断出的、年龄在16至64岁的男性鼻窦癌、胸膜癌和眼癌病例中，72%有职业信息。在膀胱癌和白血病的流行病学研究中，QTR登记的职业与病例本人提供的职业分别在64%和69%的病例中一致。本研究未发现间皮瘤与石棉相关行业工作之间的关联。文中给出了解释和建议。
