Brain cancer and occupational exposure to magnetic fields among men: results from a Canadian population-based case-control study International Journal of Epidemiology 2002;31:210217 The aetiology of brain tumours is not well understood. Ionizing radiation and a genetic predisposition have been implicated as risk factors, however, they are thought to account for a small proportion of all such tumours. 1 Positive associations between brain cancer and other occupational exposures such as vinyl chlorides, 24 pesticides 5 and electromagnetic fields 6 have been observed in some studies, but, taken as a whole, the results are inconclusive. Efforts to clarify the role of these factors are needed, particularly in light of the extremely poor prognosis for patients diagnosed with these neoplasms. 7 During the past decade, a number of studies have examined the relationship between occupational exposure to magnetic fields and the occurrence of brain tumours. Several of these studies were performed within electric utility industry workers and incorporated detailed exposure assessments obtained using either personal monitoring devices or other sampled measures © International Epidemiological Association 2002 Printed in Great Britain Brain cancer and occupational exposure to magnetic fields among men: results from a Canadian population-based case-control study Paul J Villeneuve, a,b David A Agnew, c Kenneth C Johnson, a Yang Mao a and the Canadian Cancer Registries Epidemiology Research ...
