Cancer incidence in a cohort of Swedish merchant seafarers between 1985 and 2011

ConclusionsIn this cohort of merchant Swedish seafarers 1985 –2011, the risk of total cancer was increased in men but not in women compared to the general population. Lung cancer was increased in both genders. The risk of cancer seems to decrease over the last decades, but better exposure assessments to occupational carcinogens and longer observation times are needed.
