Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 10/21/09
Girschik J et al. – After controlling for age, family history and military service in Vietnam, miners had a statistically significantly reduced risk of prostate cancer (AOR 0.35 95% CI 0.16–0.75). The systematic literature search of studies examining mining and prostate found a reasonably consistent trend of a decreased risk of prostate cancer amongst miners. None of the published articles discussed their results regarding mining and prostate cancer in detail, and a biological mechanism to support these results has not previously been suggested. The relationship between mining and prostate cancer deserves further investigation.
