Cancer incidence and exposure to 4,4'-methylene-bis-ortho-chloroaniline (MbOCA)
Occupational Medicine, 08/31/09

Dost A et al. – The findings for bladder cancer should be treated with caution as they relate to a relatively early period of follow–up and are based on very small numbers.

Methods

A cohort of 308 male production workers from seven factories have been enumerated.
All employees had a minimum of 12 months employment and were first employed at one of the participating factories in the period 1973–2000.
Mortality and cancer incidence data for the period 1979–2007 were compared with expected values based on national rates.

Results

Mortality from all cancers combined was below the expected value.
There was a single death from bladder cancer.
The incidence of all cancers combined was also below expectation.
Site–specific incidence was unexceptional except there was a non–significant excess of bladder cancer based on two cases.
