Growing evidence for increased risk of breast and skin cancers among cabin crew
Cabin crew seem to be at increased risk of breast and skin cancers, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Researchers from Iceland looked at the chances of developing the potentially fatal skin cancer malignant melanoma, to see if there were any factors likely to increase the acknowledged risk among air crew. A survey of... view more... (2003-10-20)
