  • Title: [Malignant neoplasms of the stomach in metallurgy workers].
    Author: Koshkina VS.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1990; 36(4):467-72. PubMed ID: 2345998.
    Abstract:
    The results of long-term studies of factors of gastric carcinogenesis in steel workers are presented. Relationships between tumor incidence and effects of iron dust, oil aerosols containing heavy hydrocarbons, high temperature and nitrogenous gases were established. Chronic gastric diseases aggravated by highly-hazardous industrial environmental factors increase the risk of carcinogenesis. Measures aimed at preventing primary gastric tumor development in steel workers should include dust and oil aerosol control and timely identification and treatment of chronic gastric lesions.
