“…Moreover, two other ecological studies investigated the association between professional practice in certain occupations and the risk of death from cancer. Koifman et al 61 found a higher probability of death from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, colon rectum, lung, brain, and all malignant neoplasm, among dentists of all genders in the age range from 20 to 79 years compared to the general population. Santos et al 62 found higher mortality from oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal, lung, and bladder cancer but lower mortality from all leukemias in male mechanics.…”

“…Por meio de dois outros estudos ecológicos, foi investigada a associação entre o exercício profissional em determinadas ocupações e o risco de óbitos por câncer. Koifman et al 61 constataram probabilidade mais alta de óbitos por linfoma não Hodgkin, câncer de mama, cólon reto, pulmão, cérebro e por todas as neoplasias malignas entre cirurgiões-dentistas de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária de 20 a 79 anos, em relação à população geral. Santos et al 62 verificaram maior mortalidade por câncer de orofaringe, hipofaringe, laringe, pulmão e bexiga, porém menor mortalidade por todas as leucemias entre mecânicos homens.…”
