TI  - Laryngeal cancer in farmers from Lublin region of Poland.
PG  - 13-9
AB  - The aim of the study was to analyse if work related risk factor had any influence 
      on stage, localisation and histology of type of malignant tumour. Demographic and 
      risk factors and results of treatment of farmers with patients working outside 
      farming were compared. The group included 148 patients with primary laryngeal 
      squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) diagnosed and treated in our institution in the 
      years 1999-2002. 84 (56.8%) of 148 patients were farmers and 64 (42.2%) patients 
      worked outside farming. The univariate analysis of demographical and 
      clinicopathological features of the farmers' group versus the other professions 
      group with LSCC showed a statistical significance for sex, age and G stage. 
      Nearly statistical significance was observed for the N stage (p=0.06) and for 
      primary localisation of the tumour (p=0.05). The difference in 3 and 5-year 
      survival rates between the group of farmers in comparison with the group of 
      patients working outside farming and with LSCC was not significant for most of 
      the demographical and clinicopathological features. Local, nodal or local plus 
      nodal recurrence occurred in 15 (21.1%) of 84 farmers during 3 years follow-up. 
      Distant metastases were observed in 7 (8.3%) of 84 farmers with LSCC, 6 to the 
      lungs and one to the liver. Farmers with larynx cancer had different presentation 
      pattern than other profession patients. The incidence of glottic cancer and well 
      differentiated cancer was higher in farmers than in other professions. The 
      prevalence of larynx cancer in women was significantly lower among farmers than 
      in other professions. There were older patients in the group of farmers and 
      relatively less women than in the group of patients with other professions.
