Occupational Cancers

Dear Colleagues,

The main aim of this Special Issue is to focus on different aspects of occupational cancer and results from leaders in the field. Together, the intent is to emphasize the importance of a broad perspective: it is essential to understand the link between cancer and occupational risk factors, how they influence carcinogenetic development, and strategies for prevention. We can no longer take reductionist approaches that consider only the cancer and exposure assessment. Instead, we need to understand the role of genetic factors, lifestyle habits related to job titles, gender disparities, specific occupational tasks, environmental factors, socioeconomic conditions on carcinogenic processes, and how all these interact with each other. In order to do that, we will be collecting scientific contributions from expert international authors for each specific topic.
