Cancer of the nose and paranasal sinuses is a known occupational hazard among workers in the furniture industry. An increased frequency of cancer at other sites has also been suggested to occur among different types of woodworkers in the United States, eg, cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and lung but also lymphatic and hematopoietic malignancies. This case-referent study is of a pilot character and was undertaken for the further elucidation of respiratory and digestive tract cancer among Swedish woodworkers. A four-fold excess of respiratory cancer, other than nasal cancer, was found, particularly in relation to furniture workers, whereas no definite excess of digestive tract cancer was indicated. Further studies seem worthwhile regarding cancer hazard in the woodworking industry.
鼻及鼻窦癌是家具行业工人已知的职业危害。在美国，不同类型的木工中也有人提出其他部位癌症的发病率有所增加，例如胃肠道和肺癌，还有淋巴和造血系统恶性肿瘤。这项病例对照研究具有试点性质，旨在进一步阐明瑞典木工的呼吸道和消化道癌症情况。研究发现，除鼻癌外，呼吸道癌症的发病率高出四倍，尤其是家具工人，而消化道癌症并未显示出明显的超额发病率。关于木工行业的癌症危害，似乎值得进一步研究。
