| Abstract |
An epidemiological survey of 41 cases of urinary tract tumours of occupational origin reported in the statistics during 1974. The general characteristics of urinary carcinomas and the incriminated carcinogens are reviewed, and the general site distribution of these neoplasms in the urinary tract is discussed together with indication of histological types and probable causative agents. The 41 cases are described with tabular data on: geographical distribution; age of patient; length of employment; incriminated carcinogen; tumour site; histological type; age at diagnosis; breakdown of cases by length of exposure, substances to which patients were exposed, and site of lesions. |
