“…Hence, further studies should address occupational backgrounds in histological characteristics, trying to use data linkage approaches. 18,33 In conclusion, occupational disparities in RCC tumor grades appeared to exist in Japan. Further integrated perspectives of clinical pathology, occupational medicine, and social epidemiology are warranted to elucidate the determinants of occupational differences in RCC carcinogenesis.…”

Hence, further studies should address occupational backgrounds in histological characteristics, trying to use data linkage approaches 18,33 . In conclusion, occupational disparities in RCC tumor grades appeared to exist in Japan.…”
