Evaluation of professional risk of malignant new tumors in workers of mining metallurgical plant

摘要

The study has showed the existence of high professional risk (standardized relative risk) of malignant new tumors (MNT) development in major productions of Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Combine (NMMC) in not less than 60% of population involved in working environment and labor process. Less than high, but statistically significant professional risk exists for employees of subsidiary industries, who periodically are exposed to complex production-professional factors. This necessitates the development and implementation for these groups of workers a special system of preventive measures aimed both at primary prevention of cancer pathology, i.e. reduction in intensity of effecting production factors or reduction of affected groups, and to improve and increase the efficiency of secondary prevention, i.e. early diagnosis and efficient treatment of cancer patients.
