      Background: Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Programme for the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans has been criticized for several of its evaluations, and also for the approach used to perform these evaluations. Some critics have claimed that failures of IARC Working Groups to recognize study weaknesses and biases of Working Group members have led to inappropriate ...

    • Occupation and relative risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). A 45-year follow-up study in 4 Nordic countries

      Background The age-adjusted incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in the Nordic countries has increased during the last 60 years, and the identification of occupational variation in the relative risk of cSCC may have preventive implications. Objective We sought to describe variation in the relative risk of cSCC between occupational categories in Finland, Iceland, Norway, and ...

      The objective of the study was to assess the relationship between exposure to selected solvents and the risk of bladder cancer. This study is based on the Nordic Occupational Cancer (NOCCA) database and comprises 113,343 cases of bladder cancer diagnosed in Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden between 1961 and 2005 and 566,715 population controls matched according to country, sex and birth year. ...

    • Occupational solvent exposure and adult chronic lymphocytic leukemia: No risk in a population-based case-control study in four Nordic countries

      The aim of this study was to assess the effect of occupational solvent exposure on the risk of adult chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The current case–control study was nested in the Nordic Occupational Cancer Study (NOCCA) cohort. 20,615 CLL cases diagnosed in 1961–2005 in Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, and 103,075 population-based controls matched by year of birth, sex, and country were ...

    • Perceived physical strain at work and incidence of prostate cancer - A case-control study in Sweden and Finland 

      Sormunen, Jorma; Talibov, Madar; Sparén, Pär; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Pukkala, Eero (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-23)
      The evidence that prostate cancer is associated to physical inactivity is inconsistent. We studied the association of perceived physical workload (PPWL) at work and incidence of prostate cancer in a case-control setting. We used data from the Nordic Occupational Cancer study from Finland and Sweden. Five population controls were selected for each prostate cancer patient, matched on age and country. ...

    • Risk of early-onset prostate cancer associated with occupation in the Nordic countries 

      Barry, Kathryn Hughes; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Alavanja, Michael C.R.; Andreotti, Gabriella; Blair, Aaron; Hansen, Johnni; Kjærheim, Kristina; Koutros, Stella; Lynge, Elsebeth; Sparén, Pär; Tryggvadóttir, Laufey; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Berndt, Sonja I.; Pukkala, Eero (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-10)
      Background: <br>Early-onset prostate cancer is often more aggressive and may have a different etiology than later-onset prostate cancer, but has been relatively little studied to date. We evaluated occupation in relation to early-onset and later-onset prostate cancer in a large pooled study. <br>Methods: <br>We used occupational information from census data in five Nordic countries from 1960-1990. ...

    • Variation in nordic work-related cancer risks after adjustment for alcohol and tobacco 

      Kjærheim, Kristina; Haldorsen, Tor; Lynge, Elsebeth; Martinsen, Jan Ivar; Pukkala, Eero; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Grimsrud, Tom Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-06)
      Background: <br>Alcohol and tobacco strongly increases the risk of cancers of the tongue, mouth, pharynx, larynx, and oesophagus, and are also established risk factors for cancer of the liver, colon, and rectum. It is well documented that these habits are unequally distributed among occupational groups. Most occupational cohort studies lack information on these potentially important confounders, ...
