What Role Does Occupational Exposure Play in Neoplastic Diseases?
Individuals working in specific industries may face higher risks of neoplastic diseases due to occupational exposure to carcinogens. For instance, workers exposed to asbestos have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, a type of cancer affecting the lining of the lungs. Similarly, those exposed to benzene may be at greater risk for leukemia. Protective measures and regulations are essential to minimize these risks in the workplace.
