Prolonged job strain and subsequent risk of cancer in women - a longitudinal study, based on the Danish Nurse Cohort.

CONCLUSION: We found no evidence of an increased risk of any cancer among women with prolonged job strain. Since a large proportion of cancer patients perceive psychological stress as a possible cause of their cancer disease, it is of importance to communicate these findings to the public.
