As a result of legislation regarding the surveillance of occupational cancers in Italy three systems for the monitoring of the effects of occupational exposure to carcinogenic agents have been implemented: - theMesothelioma national register (ReNaM), one of the most important experiences in terms of quality of data produced, territorial coverage and scientific reliability of results; - the rino-sinusal national tumor register (ReNaTuns). Today important regional experiences are on going in Piedmont, Lombardy, Tuscany. - OCCAM, a monitoring system based on the linkage of available information. The SIREP system has been implemented to monitor the exposure to carcinogenic agents in the workplace and is available at ISPESL. In the near future, the epidemiology of occupational cancer in Italy will most certainly regard issues such as scientific research, surveillance, compensation and prevention.
