Occupation and breast cancer mortality in a prospective cohort of US women

Article Abstract:

Researchers examined the link between lifetime occupation and breast cancer among 563,395 women. These subjects were cancer-free in 1982, but scientists found 1,780 cases of fatal breast cancer among them after nine years. Although these results show little connection between occupation and breast cancer, an increased risk was witnessed among women with higher-paying executive jobs.
