Previous studies have suggested that certain occupational groups may be at increased risk for prostate cancer. A cancer registry-based case-control study was conducted to investigate possible associations between various occupations and the risk of prostate cancer among 1,239 case subjects and 3,717 age-matched control subjects. Elevated relative risk estimates were observed for farmers, mechanics, sheet metal workers, separating machine operators, and for men employed in several manufacturing industries. These findings are discussed in the context of previous studies, and suggestions for future research are provided.
先前的研究表明，某些职业群体患前列腺癌的风险可能更高。开展了一项基于癌症登记处的病例对照研究，以调查1239例病例受试者和3717例年龄匹配的对照受试者中各种职业与前列腺癌风险之间可能存在的关联。农民、机械师、钣金工人、分选机操作员以及几个制造业的男性，其相对风险估计值有所升高。结合先前的研究对这些发现进行了讨论，并为未来的研究提供了建议。
