title: [Adenocarcinoma of the paranasal sinuses: the situation in Switzerland and Geneva].
abstract: Eight cases of adenocarcinoma of the nasal cavity and sinuses were diagnosed in the ENT Clinic in Geneva during the period 1965-87. Five of these patients were carpenters and are the object of a detailed clinical and epidemiological analysis. From a review of the literature, it appears that the incidence of the disease in Switzerland is underestimated and that the professional risk for certain types of work is still unclear. Evaluation of the scope of this problem on a national scale and an increased awareness of the medial profession seem worthwhile.
