Characteristics of chromate workers' cancers, chromium lung deposition and precancerous bronchial lesions: an autopsy study

Y Ishikawa, K Nakagawa, Y Satoh, T Kitagawa… - British journal of …, 1994 - nature.com
The characteristics of lung cancers induced by inhaled chromate were studied in 13
consecutive autopsies on male ex-chromate workers. In addition to histopathology, we
examined:(1) the relationship between the occurrence of lung cancer and the amount of
chromium (Cr) deposited in the lung as determined by atomic absorptiometry and (2) the
chronological changes in five precancerous lung lesions followed by bronchoscopy till
death. Twenty-one cancers were identified, including 16 lung tumours observed either …
