A death certificate analysis of nasal cancer among furniture workers in North Carolina

L A Brinton et al. Cancer Res. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

A case-control study of nasal cancer, based on death certificate statements on occupation in North Carolina counties with furniture-manufacturing industries, revealed a 4-fold excess risk linked to this occupation. Although woodworking exposures have been associated with nasal adenocarcinomas in several areas of the world, this is the first report of such a relationship in the United States.
