Occupational cancer in adult New Zealanders

The aims of this project are:

  1. To obtain an overview of the importance of occupational factors for bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukaemia and lung cancer in New Zealand.
  2. To quantify the proportion of cases due to known occupational causes.
  3. To identify new occupational causes of these cancers
