| Resumen |
The objective of this study was to reevaluate the statistically significant elevated risk of lung cancer among men with ≥20 years of employment at a United States manufacturer of silicon-based materials. The cohort included 712 deaths among 8266 employees who were hired from 1943 to 1992 with follow-up through 1994. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for 63 causes of death. Statistical analyses confirmed a significant increased mortality from cancer of the bronchus, trachea and lung among men prior to 1985. SMRs after 1985, however, were not statistically significant. |
