| Abstract |
Using the Swedish Cancer-Environment Registry, a population-based assessment of stomach cancer incidence by industry and occupation for men in Sweden was carried out for the years 1961 to 1979. Nearly 17,000 stomach cancer cases were diagnosed during this period. Incidence was elevated among miners and quarrymen, farmers and fishermen, and craftsmen and production workers. There was a reduced incidence among white collar workers. Examination of specific jobs revealed generally elevated rates of stomach cancer among men exposed to dusty work environments. Findings add to the evidence of a small but significant occupational role in stomach carcinogenesis. |
