title: Occupational cancers--a perspective.
abstract: Occupationally-caused tumours probably account for only a minor fraction of the total cancer burden in the community. However, circumstances dictate that such neoplasms provide singular opportunities firstly for further elucidation of the biology of chemically-induced cancer in humans, and secondly for prevention of additional cancer through the identification of hazardous work situations.
