This book comprises articles prepared by participants in this work shop. Discussed in these papers are: the descriptive and analytic epidemi ology, differences in risk factors between blacks and whites, monoclonal gammopathies and their progression, and hypotheses regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of multiple myeloma. Several epidemiologic research areas received particular attention during this workshop, and are reviewed in detail in this volume. There have been striking increases in the incidence of multiple myeloma over the past thirty years, especially among older individuals and blacks, which may not be entirely explained by changes in diagnostic capabilities. Occupational and environmental exposures have been associated with an increased risk of multiple myeloma, including farming exposures, occupational exposure to petroleum and rubber processing, exposure to ionizing radiation, and asso ciations with persistent virus infections. The most striking epidemiological finding is reflected in the differences in incidence | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1991 | 关键词 | Epidemiologie; Etiologie; Hematopoietic Cancer; Multiple Myeloma; Plasmozytom; cancer; cell; cytogenetics; e | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-76655-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-76657-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-76655-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1991 |
