Cancer risk among health care personnel in Finland, 1971-1980.
研究了1971-1980年芬兰医疗保健人员的癌症风险，发现男性总体风险较低（主要因肺癌风险低），女性风险较高，注册护士乳腺癌风险是实习护士的两倍，而淋巴瘤、白血病等风险则相反。
Standardized incidence ratios were calculated for the assessment of cancer risk among Finnish health care personnel in 1971-1980. The overall relative cancer risk among the men was low when compared with that of all economically active men, mainly due to the low relative risk of lung cancer. The cancer risk of female health care personnel was increased when compared with that of all economically active women. The relative risk of breast cancer among registered nurses was high, being twice that of practical nurses, who had an average risk. In contrast, the risk of lymphomas, leukemia, and primary liver carcinoma was low among registered nurses and high among practical nurses. Although specific occupational exposures could not be assessed, the results did not imply any alarming major hazards related to health care work itself.
