| Abstract |
Following a report on the results of statistical analysis of 120 cases of surgically confirmed pancreatic lesions in a single region in Italy, and the breakdown of these cases by occupation, the authors made the following findings: men are more subject to pancreatic lesions than women; the highest incidence of pancreatic lesions was found in transport and service workers (lorry drivers, cooks, restaurant waiters). In view of the large number of workers at risk and the possible cancerous course of pancreatic lesions, the authors recommend the implementation of arrangements for early diagnosis of these disorders; diagnosis is greatly facilitated by pancreas scintillography, a simple and accurate method widely used nowadays. |
