"AGRICAN is the largest cohort worldwide assessing various tasks related to lifetime occupational history of 18 major agricultural activities and not only pesticide use. A dose–response relationship was observed with the number of cattle raised, especially for insecticide application. Prostate cancer was associated with pesticide exposure in fruit growing, not only with pesticide use but also with harvesting."
