Abstract | |||
Flight attendants may be at increased risk of breast and other cancers due to work-place exposures including cosmic radiation and circadian rythm disruption from traveling across multiple time zones. This cancer incidence study will determine whether female flight attendants are at increased risk of breast or other cancers and whether the risk is cosmic radiation dose-related. |
