• Description:
  Evidence to date reveals an inconsistent association between parental and subject occupation and brain tumors. Paternal exposures in hydrocarbon-associated occupations, the petroleum industries, and paint exposures have been associated with brain cancer. Maternal exposures have received less attention, but some studies have yielded suggestive results linking occupational exposures to pesticides and solvents to childhood brain tumors. We previously reported an association between maternal employment in electronic parts manufacturing and textile industries and brain tumor from a population- based case-control study from 74 cases and 170 controls. In this report, we present the results from the larger, completed case-control study to assess the association between parental and subject occupation and brain tumor risk.
