TL;DR: Asbestos cement work is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer of all main types during the first 25 years after the start of employment, but the risk of adenocarcinomas is clearly higher after this point.

TL;DR: The authors studied cancer incidence in a large historical cohort of Danish paper mill workers, employed at any time between 1943 and 1990, and followed up until December 31, 1993, to support some studies' observations of an increased risk of Hodgkin's disease in paper mill Workers.

TL;DR: Future efforts should focus not only on traditional approaches to occupational cancer research but also incorporate indirect influences of the work environment (eg, smoking, parity, age at first birth), labor market participation on cancer risk.

TL;DR: A collaborative analysis of data from similar linkages in Finland, Norway, and Sweden found that the combination of high risk for bladder cancer and low or no risk for lung cancer was not found in the other Nordic countries; however, statistically significant increased risks for both bladder and lung cancer were found among male hairdressers in both Norway and Sweden.

TL;DR: Tobacco and alcohol do not appear to be carcinogenic formale breast cancer, and future studies should aim to assess these exposures in relation to subtypes of male breast cancer.
