Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6469-9189 Improving education and training to reduce the burden of occupational cancer. The Riga-European Association of Schools of Occupational Medicine (EASOM) statement on work-related cancer 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Reducing the burden of occupational cancers (OCs) is currently one of the most challenging Occupational Health (OH) issues. The European Union (EU) has made efforts to improve the existing legal framework and developed specific legislation aimed at reducing the burden of OC. However, available data suggest that OC are underreported. In August 2019, the European Association of Schools of Occupational Medicine (EASOM) adopted a statement that highlighted the importance of improving the education and training of Medical Doctors (MDs) to facilitate improvements in recognizing and reporting OC. To achieve this, EASOM proposes to promote OH education and training of MDs at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, foster harmonization of OH education and teaching standards and programs across EU countries, and enhance cooperation between universities and international scientific associations. Finally, we suggest that occupational data should be recorded in cancer and medical registers. By engaging MDs more fully in the debate about OCs, they will become more aware of the Occupational Physician’s role in reducing the burden of OCs and, furthermore, embed consideration of occupation as a potential cause of cancer into their own practice. These interventions will help promote the implementation of policies and interventions aimed to reduce OC in the workplace. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.39 2020 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 41 / 176 = 0.233 2020 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 118 / 272 = 0.434 2020 Q2 T2 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 68 / 203 = 0.335 2020 Q2 T2 0.747 2020 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2020 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2020 Q2 Pollution 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Majery, N.
