title: [Cancers and pesticides: current data].
abstract: Pesticides are numerous. The occupational exposure to pesticide increases the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and hairy cells leukaemia. Numerous studies suggest an increasing of incidence of children cancer in connection with parental pesticide exposure. But, most of epidemiological studies are not conclusive but of the difficulty to measure the exposure to pesticides. The future epidemiological studies may include toxicological analysis in order to measure the exposure.
