Urologists have a duty to think about professional urinary cancers.

More than 11% of employees are exposed to carcinogens in the usual course of their work. The benefits of recognition as an occupational disease (OD) allow victims of work firstly to benefit from a disability compensation. But there are collective challenges. It is important to understand that accidents at work and recognised OD are not financially covered by health insurance, which is financed by everyone, but by a specific branch, known as "professional risks", financed by employers alone. Being recognised as having an OD modifies the benefits: 100% coverage of all the costs inherent to the OD, including transport costs, increase of daily allowances, payment of a pension (or of a lump sum if the Permanent Incapacity rate is < 10%). A survivor's pension may be paid to the beneficiaries in the event of the patient's death. OD "is presumed to be of occupational origin : any disease designated in a table of OD and contracted under the conditions set out in this table'. Although the declaration of OD must be made by the victim (or his dependents) to the national health insurance fund, it can only exist on condition that a doctor has drawn up a descriptive Initial Medical Certificate (IMC), taking care to use the exact terms of the tables (15ter and 16 bis) and the professional origin.
