A retrospective cohort study of 2918 workers in the telecommunications industry in Sweden recorded the cancer morbidity for the period 1958-79. Cases of cancer were collected from the Swedish Cancer Registry for this period and information on work characteristics was collected for the entire period of employment. The total cancer morbidity was as expected. There was no excess risk of lung cancer but an excess risk of malignant melanoma of the skin was detected (SMR = 2.6, 12 cases). This excess risk was particularly associated with work environments where soldering was practised. Estimates of the SMR became larger with the assumption of a longer induction/latency period.
一项针对瑞典电信行业2918名工人的回顾性队列研究记录了1958年至1979年期间的癌症发病率。该期间的癌症病例来自瑞典癌症登记处，同时收集了整个就业期间的工作特征信息。总癌症发病率与预期相符。肺癌没有额外风险，但检测到皮肤恶性黑色素瘤存在额外风险（标准化发病比=2.6，12例）。这种额外风险尤其与进行焊接工作的环境有关。假设诱导/潜伏期更长，标准化发病比的估计值会变得更大。
