[The cancer morbidity of workers in rubber manufacture].
The report discusses the results of the first study of cancer morbidity undertaken in the former USSR in a cohort of rubber workers versus length of service. Certain groups of occupations revealed high risk for malignant tumors of the oral cavity, throat, stomach, pancreas, large and rectal colon, lung, brain, lymphatic and hemopoietic tissue. Relatively high risk of tumors of the larynx, gallbladder, biliary tracts, ovary and vulva was found in females working under hazardous conditions. Agreement of the results with those reported aboard points to elevated risk of cancer in domestic rubber production, too.
