[Oncologic diseases incidence in flying and ground maintenance personnel]
Abstract:
Incidence of oncologic disease and oncologic death rate among the flying and ground maintenance personnel in the period from 1996 to 2000 were reviewed. Death rate was found to be below the expectation in both categories. The standard risk for the flying and maintenance personnel made up 0.68 and 0.61, respectively. The flying personnel had a higher risk of cancer of the rectum, large intestine, and prostate. The authors propose to validate USI or analysis for the specific prostate antigen as screening methods of early prostate cancer diagnostics as part of the flyer's medical certification.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
