title: [Active research, registration, and prevention of tumors of professional origin].
abstract: Occupational cancer is an important public health concern in Italy and in many industrialized countries. The difficulties in monitoring and the complexity in retrieving occupational cancer cases have required the enrolment of a national epidemiologic sureveillance system at national scale with active search methods. A structured system for the registration of occupational cancer cases is normed by the Decree No. 81/2008, that accounts for the previous legislative procedures and experiences. Research activities and prevention of occupational cancer should be integrated with insurance policies to the purpose of an efficient protection of workers health.
