Occupational Hazards: Jobs Linked to Higher Ovarian Cancer Risk
A study published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine suggests that professions such as hairdressing, beautician roles, and accountancy may be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Prolonged exposure to substances like talcum powder and ammonia in these occupations could be significant factors. The research also indicates potential risks for individuals in sales, retail, clothing, and construction sectors. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and improve understanding of women's occupational risks related to ovarian cancer.
