[21] [22] It can be caused by overwork, anesthesia, or stress. [23] In dogs, its inheritance is autosomal recessive. [5] An MH mouse has been constructed, bearing the R163C mutation prevalent in humans. These mice display signs similar to human MH patients, including sensitivity to halothane (increased respiration, body temperature, and death).
Cancer related to one's occupation is believed to represent between 2–20% of all cases. [17] Most cancer deaths caused by occupational risk factors occur in the developed world. [16] Job stress does not appear to be a significant factor at least in lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers. [18]
Worldwide in 2015, the most common causes of cancer death were lung cancer (1.6 million deaths), liver cancer (745,000 deaths), and stomach cancer (723,000 deaths). [7] Lung cancer is largely due to non-infectious causes, such as tobacco smoke. However, liver and stomach cancer are primarily due to infectious causes.
