Cancer Treatment

If you remember a few months, and if I do, around here we were talking about a man, named Ferdinand and ex-worker Inquidesa in Huesca, who claimed her cancer was recognized as an occupational disease of the pancreas.

In the first post by February, a servant claimed that chlorine and pancreatic cancer are not related … it’s true. But in these Dr. Sanz told me, he knew first hand one of the experts Dr. Porta of Barcelona, that the compound they were talking about was not the only organ-chlorine, chlorine … and there published the second post correcting … for certain is that certain organ-chlorine (such as some insecticides that quoted in the first inning) are associated with pancreatic cancer.

The probable etiology of pancreatic cancer is related to snuff, diabetes, pancreatic diseases and exposure to organ-chlorine. If Fernando was no smoker, no diabetes or had had any pathology in the gland and white … well in the bottle: the most likely cause is exposure to organ-chlorine with which it had been 20 years.

So far so logical … if we lived in Denmark, peeeeero are Spanish and this is what happened:

1) Fernando died in June.

2) The judge has said in September that: a) not be considered an occupational disease because it is not on the Schedule of Occupational Diseases, which is true, is not and b) that it is not an accident at work because it must have a unique cause and direct … it’s also true.

What would have happened in Denmark? … Something very simple, there the Arbejdsskadestyrelsen (which believe it or not with that name is what comes to be our INSHT) does not break the head, and when the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC ) recognizes a human carcinogen or probable carcinogen, Danish law is assumed as such and Danish workers with the disease and have been exposed to this risk factor may apply for compensation … look at you that Apañaos.

So, for now, to look with envy … because until we get there we have much, but many, mill.
