Occupational exposure to organochlorine compounds during pesticide manufacturing or application has been associated with prostate cancer incidence.

METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study of 362 cases and 1,805 matched controls to examine the asso...

This study conducted to compare demographic characteristi...
