The literature published between 1965 and 1989 on the cancer epidemiology of woodworking in furniture industries and carpentry shops in 17 countries is reviewed. Included are some unpublished data obtained through personal communication with epidemiologists or collected from doctoral dissertations. Of 5,785 cases with sino-nasal cancers, about 23% were found to be woodworkers. Dusty jobs, especially wood processing using high-speed machines, are mainly associated with the enhanced incidence of nasal adenocarcinomas. The latency periods of the latter tumors ranged from 7 to 69 years in five European countries. A variety of neoplasias of the respiratory, digestive, and urinary tracts as well as the hemopoietic and lymphatic systems, including Hodgkin's disease are reported to be significantly associated with occupational exposure to wood dust. These data suggest that the exposure to some types of wood dust might cause a systemic rather than local neoplastic disorder.
本文回顾了1965年至1989年间发表的关于17个国家家具行业和木工车间木工癌症流行病学的文献。其中包括通过与流行病学家个人交流获得的一些未发表数据，或从博士论文中收集的数据。在5785例鼻窦癌病例中，约23%为木工。多尘工作，尤其是使用高速机器进行木材加工的工作，主要与鼻腺癌发病率的增加有关。在五个欧洲国家，后一种肿瘤的潜伏期为7至69年。据报道，呼吸道、消化道、泌尿系统以及造血和淋巴系统的各种肿瘤，包括霍奇金病，都与职业性接触木尘显著相关。这些数据表明，接触某些类型的木尘可能会导致全身性而非局部性肿瘤疾病。
