职业暴露的研究对我们理解人类致癌作用做出了重大贡献。大约三分之一被确定为确定或可能的人类致癌物的因素首先在工作场所进行了调查，这些暴露对工作人群造成了相当大的损失。还有许多其他的工作场所暴露是可疑的致癌物，需要进一步评估，以确保安全的工作环境。职业调查的信息也与一般人群有关，因为许多职业接触可以在工作场所以外发现。我们对职业性癌症的了解大多来自发达国家主要由白色男性组成的研究。工业从发达国家向发展中国家的转移突出表明，今后的调查需要包括更多样化的人口。
Studies of occupational exposures have made major contributions to our understanding of human carcinogenesis. About one third of the factors identified as definite or probable human carcinogens were first investigated in the workplace and these exposures exact a considerable toll on working populations. There are many additional workplace exposures that are suspect carcinogens that require further evaluation to ensure a safe work environment. Information from occupational investigations is also relevant to the general population because many occupational exposures can be found outside the workplace. Much of our understanding about occupational cancer has been obtained from studies largely composed of white men in developed countries. The movement of industry from developed to developing countries underscores the need for future investigations to include more diverse populations.
