OBJECTIVES
To review the incidence of testicular cancer within the Royal Air Force (RAF) compared with the national incidence.
METHODS
The medical statistics for RAF personnel (supplied by the Central Statistics Office, categorized by occupation) were reviewed for the incidence of testicular cancer and compared to the national rate.
RESULTS
A significantly elevated incidence of testicular neoplasm was detected in RAF personnel, which was well above the national rate. The increased incidence appeared most marked in those personnel working directly with aircraft.
CONCLUSION
The only cause of the significantly higher incidence of testicular cancer in RAF personnel is probably related to working with aircraft. This concurs with a finding that aircraft technicians in the US Navy had an increased incidence of testicular cancer, and the exposure to hydrocarbon carcinogens in the workplace was implicated.
目的
比较英国皇家空军（RAF）中睾丸癌的发病率与全国发病率。
方法
回顾了皇家空军人员的医学统计数据（由中央统计局提供，按职业分类），以了解睾丸癌的发病率，并与全国发病率进行比较。
结果
在皇家空军人员中检测到睾丸肿瘤的发病率显著升高，远高于全国发病率。发病率的增加在那些直接与飞机打交道的人员中最为明显。
结论
皇家空军人员中睾丸癌发病率显著较高的唯一原因可能与接触飞机有关。这与一项研究结果相符，即美国海军的飞机技术人员睾丸癌发病率增加，且工作场所接触碳氢化合物致癌物被认为与之有关。
