D. Gordon, Melissa Pearson, Chandrika Rao  \nbackground Occupational exposure to toxic substances has been associated with cancer. Including industry and occupation (I/O) in cancer surveillance can help identify potential links between occupational exposures and cancers using data already collected to monitor statewide cancer trends. I/O reporting is required in cancer registries and recently in death records. In this study, we examined the completeness of I/O information in North Carolina cancer and death certificate data.  \nmethods The North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (NC CCR) is the sole repository of North Carolina cancer incidence data. NC CCR (2020–2021) and death certificate data (2020–2022) were analyzed for completeness of I/O. NC CCR incidence records for 1995–2021 diagnoses were linked to North Carolina death files (2020–2022) .  \nresults NC CCR data had I/O in 17% to 51% of the cases, depending on cancer type. I/O was included in 41% of 2020 death certificatesand increased to a 99.9% inclusion in 2021 and 2022 death certificates. In 2020, 20,018 (18%) of 109,677 total deaths matched with a cancer record during NC CCR data linkage. In 2021, 20,225 (16%) of 119,237 total deaths matched with a cancer record, and in 2022, 20,367 (17%) of 116,406 total deaths matched to a cancer record.  \nlimitations Data presented here only examine the completeness of 10 cancer types that the NC CCR regularly analyzes using the mostrecent data available (2021) .  \nconclusion Health care providers should routinely record I/O using the standards explained in the training for providers on I/O data collection, provided by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, and should increase their frequency of reporting I/O to NC CCR. Death certificate data may provide I/O data for individuals whose information is missing from cancer registry data.  \nOne of the earliest reports of occupational cancer was  \nby Sir Percival Pott in London in 1775. Around the start of the Industrial Revolution, Sir Percival Pott attributed an excess incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum among young chimney sweeps to soot. Later studies confirmed that the chemical agents in soot—polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particularly benzo-(a)-pyrene—were associated with scrotal cancers [1] . An identical syndrome was recognized among a group of coal tar and paraffin workers in the latter part of the 19th century. By the first half of the 20th century, there were several reports of respiratory cancer among those working in settings such as nickel refineries, coal carbonization processes, and asbestos products manufacturing [2] . Since then, researchers have expanded the list of known or suspected human carcinogens, and widespread concern about the toxicity of asbestos has grown among asbestos workers and members of the general public [3–6] . Increased concern regarding the association between the workplace and cancer has prompted innumerable investigations to determine whether specific cancer types among workers may have a common cause or may be a coincidental occurrence [7] .  \nIn 2017, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) identified 47 occupational carcinogens as cancer hazards in the workplace, an increase from 28 occupational  \ncarcinogens in 2004 [8]. Cancers are more likely to develop after occupational exposures to the following carcinogens: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals, tobacco smoke, silica and asbestos dusts, radiation, and chemical by-products of certain industrial processes [9] . Several occupations are characterized as having high cancer risks, including construction work; firefighting; furniture making; painting; agriculture work; working in the iron, steel, coal, and rubber industries; and shoe manu","cbCaifH9W41J5JpB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifH9W41J5JpB","pdf",137891,"English","# Background\n# Methods\n# Results\n# Limitations\n# Conclusion\n# Historical context of occupational cancer\n# The Role of the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry","[{\"question\":\"Why is industry and occupation (I/O) data important for cancer surveillance?\",\"answer\":\"Including I/O in cancer surveillance can help identify potential links between occupational exposures and cancers using data already collected to monitor statewide trends.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the study assess the completeness of I/O information?\",\"answer\":\"Researchers analyzed I/O completeness using North Carolina Central Cancer Registry incidence records (1995–2021) linked with North Carolina death certificate data (2020–2022).\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main findings about I/O reporting across registry and death certificates?\",\"answer\":\"Cancer registry data contained I/O in 17% to 51% of cases depending on cancer type, while death certificates increased from 41% inclusion in 2020 to 99.9% in 2021 and 2022.\"}]","Examining the Completeness of Industry and Occupation Data Among Patients Newly Diagnosed with Cancer in North Carolina | PDF",1790000390,15]
