[Is there a relation between occupational exposure of the welder and the formation of bronchial cancer?].
From 1961 to 1979 844 men with a bronchogenic carcinoma have been operated in the Pulmological Department of the Wittenberg-Apollensdorf hospital. 63 patients (7.5%) were younger than 45, 781 (92.5%) were older than 45 years of age. Those who are employed in the metal industry are at the top of the occupational index in both age groups, whereas those employed in the chemical industry are only on place 5, although the district of Halle from which the patients mostly are coming is the centre of the chemical industry in the GDR. In our investigations it is remarkable that the group of welders, and heating fitters is to be found on place 2 among the younger patients, whereas the older ones occupy place 11.
