"In a hospital in the south of France, one oncologist has managed to mobilise his entire department and others around a project to support patients suffering from work-related cancers. By tracking their occupational exposure to carcinogens, the project helps them to get their illness recognised as an occupational illness and raises the profile of a risk that is often under-estimated in a region of France that is one of biggest users of pesticides."
