“…Occupational cancer is related to exposure to factors such as chemicals, dust, radiation, and some industrial processes [31][32]. Exposure to chemical oncogenes can cause mutations that result to cells to become out of control and cause cancer [33][34]. Mortality due to cancer and occupational cancer has increased because of an increase in life expectancy and a gradual reduction in other causes of death, such as infectious diseases and injuries [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…In conclusion, the data presented in this report shows that exposure to environmental harmful factors is one of the major causes of illness, death and disability worldwide . Almost one third of all cancers can be prevented [34]. More than 75% of mortality due to cancer can be prevented by avoiding risk factors such as: tobacco, overweight /obesity, inadequate diet, physical inactivity, alcohol, sexually transmitted infections, and air pollution [101].…”

“…Since, information about occupational cancers and their causes can determine labor groups that require special attention. For example, workers exposed to harm can be assessed and considered for preventive interventions [34,109]. Other steps should be taken include: reducing tobacco use, controlling respiratory infectious diseases, and replacing inefficient energy sources with renewable energy sources [104].…”

Environmental pollution is one of the main causes of disease, death, and disability worldwide. International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates mortality caused by occupational cancer worldwide to be two times higher than occupational accidents. Approximately, 10 important risk factors account for 85% of all occupational cancers. Factors for occupational cancer includes Asbestos, chemicals such as aniline, chromates, dinitrotoluene, arsenic and its inorganic compounds, beryllium and its compounds, cadmium and nickel compounds, wood dust, crystalline silica, brown coal phosphors, furnace emissions, pollution caused by diesel equipment, Nano-Materials, biological agents, ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, thermal shock, shift work, stress and work while sitting. Also some other environmental factors can cause cancer which concludes air, water and soil pollutions, smoking, sunlight, radon gas, electromagnetic fields, agriculture, behavior and lifestyle (such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, diet, sleep patterns, personal habits and social and cultural environment behaviors). More than 75% of mortality due to cancer can be avoided via controlling occupational and environmental risk factors. Most of cancers are not hereditary and caused by occupational and environmental biological agents, and are potentially preventable. So, it is recommended that more researches should be performed in this field in order to detect more scientific and effective methods to detect number and type of cancers due to occupational and environmental factors.

<p class="abstract">Because of the importance and huge burden of occupational cancers for the population today, health policy makers should look for innovative and cost effective ways to manage these diseases. Information technology bases such as telehealth have prominent impacts in many areas of medicine. Telehealth approaches including teleoncology and teleoccupational therapy are the solutions that help to provide quick access to high quality services for cancer patients in remote areas. The most important impact of telehealth methods is enhancing care cost-effectiveness and eliminating the disparities in access to cancer care for cancer patient. For the reasons mentioned it is necessary to use telehealth in occupational cancer care same as other fields of cancer. In this paper application of telehealth opportunities in occupational cancers have been described.</p>

Objective:Applying mobile base systems in cancer care especially in chemotherapy management have remarkable growing in recent decades. Because chemotherapy side effects have significant influences on patient’s lives, therefore it is necessary to take ways to control them. This research has studied some experiences of using mobile phone based systems to home-based monitor of chemotherapy side effects in cancer.Methods:In this literature review study, search was conducted with keywords like cancer, chemotherapy, mobile phone, information technology, side effects and self managing, in Science Direct, Google Scholar and Pub Med databases since 2005.Results:Today, because of the growing trend of the cancer, we need methods and innovations such as information technology to manage and control it. Mobile phone based systems are the solutions that help to provide quick access to monitor chemotherapy side effects for cancer patients at home. Investigated studies demonstrate that using of mobile phones in chemotherapy management have positive results and led to patients and clinicians satisfactions.Conclusion:This study shows that the mobile phone system for home-based monitoring chemotherapy side effects works well. In result, knowledge of cancer self-management and the rate of patient’s effective participation in care process improved.
