| Abstract |
An investigation of 2,068 cases of biliary-tract cancer in Sweden revealed statistically significant increased risks for cancer of the gall bladder in men employed in petroleum refining, papermills, chemical processing, shoemaking and repairing, and for both sexes in the textile industry. A significant increase in the incidence of other cancers of the biliary tract was found in shipbuilding, the construction-materials industry and among insulation workers. The possible implication in the last 3 industries of asbestos is discussed. |
