Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To summarize and analyze the diagnostic ideas of new occupational lung tumors in Guangdong Province.METHODS: According to the Law of the People′s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Disease and the GBZ 94-2002 Diagnostic Criteria of Occupational Cancer, the key diagnostic points of 6 new occupational lung tumors diagnosed in Guangdong Province from 2010 to 2011 were analyzed. RESULTS: There were 9 cases of 6 new kinds of new occupational tumors were diagnosed in Guangdong Province in 2010-2011. The cases included 3 occupational lung cancer of coke oven workers, 2 occupational lung cancer caused by asbestos, 1 occupational mesothelioma caused by asbestos, 1 occupational lung cancer caused by arsenate, 1 occupational lung cancer caused by chromate salt, and 1 occupational lung cancer caused by asphalt. During the process, the diagnosis was based on the principles of the comprehensive analysis and the attribution diagnosis, combined with occupational history, occupational disease hazard exposure history, clinical data and auxiliary examination results. If the patients were diagnosed with a primary tumor, the patients′ exposure history to occupational carcinogens should be tracked, traced and confirmed, and the diagnosis should be confirmed by referring to the list of occupational carcinogens and literature reports of the International Labor Organization, and not limited to only the personnel in a particular industry. CONCLUSION: During the diagnostic process of occupational tumors, attention should be paid to confirm the exposure history of occupational carcinogen. The key is to determine the exposure of corresponding occupational carcinogen, the route and the time of exposure and the incubation period.
