Sex-specific risks and trends in lung cancer mortality across occupations and economic activities in Switzerland (1990-2014).

Most of the activities and occupations in which we observed excess lung cancer mortality have previously been observed to involve occupational exposure to lung carcinogens. These findings suggest that the number of occupational lung cancer is likely underestimated by the official Swiss statistics. Further research should address this question and the exposure-effect relationships in the most at-risk occupational groups.
