Parental occupation is a suspected risk factor in the occurrence of childhood cancer. Fourteen epidemiological studies investigating a possible association are reviewed and observations are found to be contradictory. Several reports show significant associations for occupations involving exposure to hydrocarbons, lead or chemicals and occupations of social classes I and II. Conversely, some studies find no association at all. Methodological variations do not account for the contrasting results so further investigation is required.
父母的职业被怀疑是儿童癌症发生的一个风险因素。对14项调查可能存在关联的流行病学研究进行了综述，发现观察结果相互矛盾。几份报告显示，涉及接触碳氢化合物、铅或化学物质的职业以及社会阶层I和II的职业存在显著关联。相反，一些研究根本没有发现关联。方法学上的差异并不能解释这些相互矛盾的结果，因此需要进一步调查。
