This session looks at occupational exposure to various industrial substances and the development of cancer. Presenters will examine exposure-response curves for metalworking fluids and prostate cancer, identify occupational factors associated with cancers of the bladder and the renal pelvis, and explore the association between occupational history and prostate cancer. Results of a mortality study of workers at a nuclear weapons fabrication facility will be reported as will differences in mortality by radiation monitoring status among a large cohort of naval shipyard workers. | |||
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) in this session will be able to: 1. Describe approaches used to characterize exposure to metal working fluids. 2. Describe the mortality experience of workers at the Pantex nuclear weapons plant. 3. Recognize mortality results that may suggest potential for confounding in internal analyses of an occupational cohort. 4. Understand methods for estimating occupational exposure and analyzing occupational data. 5. Describe occupational exposures which may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer. | |||
