title: [Work and cancer].
abstract: A cancer that develops due to work-related noxae is usually first recognized only after decades. It is then very important for the patients that the treating doctor thinks of this possibility at all and consequently performs a comprehensive occupational medical history. Generally it is better to report one too many suspicions to the responsible insurance carrier than to overlook a work-related cause of cancer.
