The object of this study was to assess the relative risks of cancer for a particular branch of industry by using the newly created cancer environment registry. The registry was created by a record linkage of the 1960 census to the Swedish Cancer Registry 1961-73. A cohort study was undertaken of all subjects classified in the census as working in the electronics or electrical manufacturing industry. The risks were calculated in relation to the general working population. The results showed a slightly higher total incidence of cancer (all sites) in this branch of industry than in the general working population, for men as well as for women. This was especially so for tumour sites connected with the pharynx and the respiratory system. The study also indicates that the new registry has a potential as a screening instrument.
本研究的目的是通过使用新创建的癌症环境登记处来评估特定行业分支患癌症的相对风险。该登记处是通过将1960年人口普查记录与1961 - 1973年瑞典癌症登记处进行记录链接而创建的。对在人口普查中被归类为从事电子或电气制造业工作的所有受试者进行了队列研究。风险是相对于一般工作人群计算的。结果显示，该行业分支中男性和女性的癌症（所有部位）总发病率略高于一般工作人群。与咽部和呼吸系统相关的肿瘤部位尤其如此。该研究还表明，新的登记处具有作为筛查工具的潜力。
