Mortality and incidence of cancer among a cohort of self employed butchers from Geneva and their wives / E. Gubéran... [et al.]

Sumario: Studies from several countries on butchers and other meat workers have shown excess risks for several malignancies especially for lung cancer, prostatic cancer, leukaemia, and lymphoma.

The aim of the present study was to investigate mortality and incidence of cancers among a cohort of Geneva butchers, and their wives
