Summary
The Montreal Occupational Cancer Study was the first study to address the problem of discovering occupational carcinogens by collecting detailed job exposure information in a case-control study. This book presents the methods and results of this ground-breaking study. The core of the book is the set of tables of results describing the statistical associations between nearly 300 occupational exposures and 20 types of cancer. Research methods are explained in detail. The book will surely provide an indispensible reference resource for decades to come for epidemiologists, toxicologists, and environmental health regulators interested in environmental carcinogens.
