The study of occupationally related cancers has played an important role in the control of cancer in general. The very nature of the workplace allows for studies that can help establish a relationship between an environmental exposure and cancer. Once carcinogens are identified, strategies can be developed to prevent disease. The article reviews procedures for identifying, evaluating, and categorizing human carcinogens; provides an overview of the basic epidemiologic strategies that have been used to study cancer and the workplace; and outlines the clinical evaluation of occupational exposures.
职业相关癌症的研究在总体癌症控制中发挥了重要作用。工作场所的特性使得开展有助于确立环境暴露与癌症之间关系的研究成为可能。一旦确定致癌物，即可制定预防疾病的策略。本文回顾了识别、评估和分类人类致癌物的程序；概述了用于研究癌症与工作场所的基本流行病学策略；并概述了职业暴露的临床评估。
