摘要：The aim of the study was to analyse if work related risk factor had any in? u-
ence 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¨C2002. 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!ˉ
group versus the other professions group with LSCC showed a statistical signi? cance for
sex, age and G stage. Nearly statistical signi? cance 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 sur-
vival rates between the group of farmers in comparison with the group of patients work-
ing outside farming and with LSCC was not signi? cant 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 differented cancer was higher in farmers than in other professions.
The prevalence of larynx cancer in women was signi? cantly 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.
