Carcinomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses in former employees of a sinter plant at Copper Cliff, Ontario.
The former employees of the nickel sintering plant in Copper Cliff, Ontario have a high incidence of carcinoma of the nose and paranasal sinuses. These tumors usually are anaplastic or undifferentiated carcinoma which are aggressive locally and tend to metastasize widely. The prognosis with this disease is poor. It is felt that the occurrence of this small occupational group with a greatly increased incidence of a relatively uncommon carcinoma, merits further investigation.
