To : Members of the Special Committee on Beating Cancer at the European Parliament  Dear BECA Members,  Ahead of the public hearing on environmental and occupational cancers which will take place this Friday, the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) would like to recall that 8% of all cancer cases are work-related (12% of cancer cases among men and 7% of cancer cases among women). Occupational cancers could be avoided by eliminating carcinogens and reducing workers' exposure in the production processes.
