Résumé

Background Few occupational studies have addressed head and neck cancer, and these studies have been predominantly conducted in men. Accordingly, our objective was to investigate the association between head and neck cancer and occupation in women. Methods ICARE, a French population-based case?control study, included 296 squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck in women and 775 controls. Lifelong occupational history was collected. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for smoking, alcohol drinking and education level, were estimated for occupations and industries. Results An elevated OR was observed for working proprietors working for 10 years or more (OR?=?3.83, 95% CI: 1.12?13.0) with a significant trend with duration of employment (P?=?0.047). Elevated but non-significant ORs were observed for street vendors (OR?=?3.76, 95% CI: 0.99?14.3, P for trend?=?0.13), bakers (OR?=?4.19, 95% CI: 0.63?27.9, P for trend?=?0.06), and welders and flame cutters (OR?=?2.18, 95% CI: 0.33?14.4, P for trend?=?0.05). Conclusions This exploratory study suggests a role of occupational exposures in the development of HN cancer in women. Further investigations of exposures to specific agents are needed. Am. J. Ind.
