[Epidemiological study of malignant neoplasm mortality among workers in the rubber footwear factory]

Oncoepidemic study was undertaken in order to determine the level of oncologic risk. The risk of death from malignant neoplasms in workers engaged in rubber production was higher by 4-4.7 times than in the city population. Maximum risk of death in males was associated with cancer of bladder and kidneys, esophagus, and larynx, in females with cancer of esophagus, larynx, and intestine. Standardized death rates from all malignant neoplasms in the males engaged in rubber production exceeded that of females by 1. 4. Life expectancy of workers of the main industrial shops was lower than in the control group.
