Reseña del editor

The identification of occupational cancer risk factors and of carcinogens in the workplace is assuming increasing import­ ance in cancer epidemiology. This book, which contains the proceedings of a symposium held in Vancouver in June 1988, combines overviews by experts on substantive topics and methodologic issues of broad interest in occupational cancer epidemiology. Among the former are state of the art reviews emphasizing recent data and new and innovative analytic approaches. The substantive topics include discussion of cancer risks from exposure to complex organic mixtures, asbestos and man-made fibers, herbicides, radon, and electromagnetic fields. Risk assessment, exposure assessment, and analysis of occupa­ tional cohort studies are examples of the methodologic issues addressed. This book provides basic information and opens perspectives on new areas of research. In organizing our symposium we were greatly assisted by Betty Fata and Kim Rust of Venue West Conference Ltd. We appreciate the financial support received from the following: Cancer Control Agency of British Columbia Alcan Aluminium Ltd.

Reseña del editor

The objectives of this book are twofold: firstly, to provide state of the art reviews on topics of current interest in occupational cancer epidemiology; secondly, to present new and innovative methodological approaches to analytic problems commonly encountered in occupational cancer epidemiology. The combination of these two subjects in a single volume makes it particularly interesting to specialists looking for an in-depth overview on health issues of current concern in occupational cancer epidemiology. Subjects of special interest are cancer risk from occupational and environmental exposures to radon, electromagnetic fields and pesticides; exposure assessment; risk assessment and analysis of data from occupational cohort studies.
