| Abstract |
163 male and 117 female patients with these cancers (cases) were matched with patients having cancers not associated with textile work (controls). Only in one group of women were there significantly more textile workers in the cases than controls. The type of textile work was not a significant factor. The results do not confirm an association between textile work and oral or pharyngeal cancer. |
