Cancer risks in a population-based study of agricultural workers: results from the Taiwan ’s Farmers and Health Cohort study
Conclusions This study provides farmer cancer patterns and risk, adding to the evidence that farmers are at increased risk of certain types of cancer, especially for hematological cancers. As exposure varies by farm operation type, individual farmer exposure may vary widely. Further understanding of the complex relationship between occupational exposure, environmental factors, and lifestyle factors is needed.
