Abstract

We have, as part of a program aimed at detecting occupational risk factors in British Columbia, collected lifetime occupational histories from 15,643 incident cancer cases, of whom 1519 had a diagnosis of prostate cancer. Occupational risks for this cancer site are examined using this large data set, and the results are presented in this report.
