Lung cancer
Cancer incidence among male pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study cohort exposed to diazinon - An association is found for exposure to diazinon and lung cancer cases. [Beane Freeman, L.E., et al. 2005. American Journal of Epidemiology 162(11):1070-1079.]
Cancer Incidence Among Pesticide Applicators Exposed to Chlorpyrifos in the Agricultural Health Study. - The rate of lung cancer increases among those workers with higher levels of chlorpyrifos exposure. [Lee WJ, et al. 2004. J Natl Cancer Inst. 96(23):1781-9.]
Cancer incidence among pesticide applicators exposed to dicamba in the Agricultural Health Study. - Finds for low-exposed pesticide applicators, a positive trend in risk between lifetime exposure days and lung cancer. [Samanic, C., et al. 2006. Environ Health Perspect 114(10):1521-1526.]
Cancer incidence among pesticide applicators exposed to metolachlor in the Agricultural Health Study. - Finds a nonsignificant increased risk for lung cancer with lifetime days exposure in the highest category (RR 2.37). [Rusiecki, J.A., et al. 2006. Int J Cancer 118(12):3118-3123.]
Pesticides and lung cancer risk in the Agricultural Health Study Cohort - Four agricultural pesticides are associated with a significant excess lung cancer risk. [Alavanja, M.C.R., et al. 2004. American Journal of Epidemiology 160(9):876-885.]
