Abstract | |||
"""The objective of this study is to identify reasons for the increasing incidence of esophageal and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas. This is one of the first studies with detailed occupational histories and confounder data to look at these associations specifically for adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and gastric cardia. For comparison, we also examined occupational risk factors for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and for noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma.""" |
