Occupation and cutaneous melanoma: A 45-year historical cohort study of 14·9 million people in five Nordic countries
Source: MDLinx, September 2020
Since few prospective population-based studies have estimated the occupational variation in cutaneous melanoma (CM) risk over time, researchers sought to determine occupational variation in CM risk.
A historical prospective cohort study with a 45-year follow-up from 1961 to 2005 (Nordic Occupational Cancer Study, NOCCA) focused on record linkages between census and cancer registry data for Nordic residents aged 30 to 64 years in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
Eighty-three thousand eight hundred ninety-eight incident cases of CM have been identified during a follow-up of 385 million person-years.
