Geographic and temporal variations in cancer incidence, changes in migrants, differences between males and females, as well as case history studies are discussed. Cancers of the workplace can be divided into those related to "point-source" industrial pollution and those where the social milieu or "life-style" of the occupation play a role (e.g., job-associated cancers). In the future, considerably more effort is necessary in studying the life-style factors in specific occupational settings. It is important not to forget that occupational cancer is essentially an excess risk over the background risks.
文中讨论了癌症发病率的地理和时间差异、移民变化、男女差异以及病例史研究。职业性癌症可分为与“点源”工业污染相关的癌症以及职业的社会环境或“生活方式”起作用的癌症（例如与工作相关的癌症）。未来，在研究特定职业环境中的生活方式因素方面需要付出更多努力。重要的是不要忘记，职业性癌症本质上是在背景风险之上的额外风险。
