Laryngeal cancer: an explanation for the apparent occupational association.

Abstract:

:The apparent association of laryngeal cancer with asbestos and possibly other occupational exposures can be accounted for by the hypothesis that chronic vocal abuse peculiar to certain working conditions will act as a promoting factor for active carcinogens found mainly in tobacco smoke.
