From 2021 to 2022, the Department of Occupational Diseases of the Eighth People's Hospital of Hebei Province successively received 4 cases of lung cancer from a chemical company that required occupational disease diagnosis. All four patients had a clear occupational history of chloromethyl ether and diclomethyl ether for more than 1 year, diagnosis of primary small cell lung cancer supported by relevant histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and tumor markers. All the 4 patients were diagnosed as occupational lung cancer (chloromethyl ether, diclomethyl ether) .
