Incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in different employment categories was evaluated from the Swedish Cancer-Environment Registry, which links cancer incidence during 1961 to 1979 with occupational information from the 1960 census. New associations were found for men employed in shoemaking and shoe repair, porcelain and earthenware industries, education, and other white collar occupations. Several findings supported associations found in other countries, including excesses among woodworkers, furniture makers, electric power plant workers, farmers, dairy workers, lorry drivers, and other land transport workers. Risks were not increased among chemists, chemical or rubber manufacturing workers, or petrochemical refinery workers. Caution must be used in drawing causal inferences from these linked registry data because information on exposure and duration of employment is not available. Nevertheless, this study has suggested new clues to possible occupational determinants of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
利用瑞典癌症与环境登记处评估了不同职业类别的非霍奇金淋巴瘤发病率，该登记处将1961年至1979年的癌症发病率与1960年人口普查的职业信息相联系。发现从事制鞋和修鞋、陶瓷和陶器行业、教育以及其他白领职业的男性有新的关联。一些研究结果支持了其他国家发现的关联，包括木工、家具制造商、发电厂工人、农民、乳品工人、卡车司机和其他陆路运输工人中的发病率过高。化学家、化学或橡胶制造业工人或石化炼油厂工人的风险并未增加。由于无法获得接触信息和就业时长信息，因此在从这些关联的登记数据中得出因果推论时必须谨慎。尽管如此，这项研究为非霍奇金淋巴瘤可能的职业决定因素提供了新线索。
