AB  - The aetiology of primary Fallopian tube carcinoma (PFTC) is poorly understood. 
      Occupational exposures may contribute to PFTC risk. We studied incidence of PFTC 
      in occupational categories in the Nordic female population aged 30-64 years 
      during the 1960, 1970, 1980/1981 and/or 1990 censuses in Denmark, Finland, 
      Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for the years 
      following inclusion in the study up to 2005 were calculated for 53 occupations; 
      the expected numbers of cases were based on PFTC incidence in the national 
      populations. Altogether 2,206 PFTC cases were detected during follow up via data 
      linkages with the Nordic cancer registries. Significantly increased risks of PFTC 
      were observed for smelting workers (SIR 3.99, 95% confidence interval 1.46-8.68, 
      Obs = 6), artistic workers (2.64, 1.44-4.43, Obs = 14), hairdressers (2.18, 
      1.41-3.22, Obs = 25), packers (1.62, 1.11-2.29, Obs = 32), nurses (1.49, 
      1.14-1.92, Obs = 60), shop workers (1.25, 1.07-1.46, Obs = 159) and clerical 
      workers (1.20, 1.07-1.35, Obs = 271) and these sustained over times and different 
      Nordic countries. There was a nonsignificant increased risk for PFTC among 
      welders, printers, painters and chemical process workers. The risk was 
      significantly and consistently low for women working in farming (0.68, 0.47-0.95, 
      Obs = 34) and among economically inactive women (0.88, 0.82-0.94, Obs = 833). The 
      possible role of occupational exposures to the PFTC risks found in this study 
      must be further evaluated in studies with a possibility to adjust for possible 
      confounding factors, such as reproductive and life-style factors, which was not 
      possible in our study.
