Odds ratios (OR) were calculated after adjusting for relevant risk factors including tobacco smoking.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show that regular WD exposure was associated with a statistically significant increased risk of 32% for all UADR cancers (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.77; p-trend\u200a=\u200a0.05) and 69% for lung cancer alone (OR 1.69; 95% CI 1.20 to 2.36; p-trend\u200a=\u200a0.007). WD was associated with an 82\u201393% increased risk of squamous cell, small cell and adenocarcinoma of the lung and more than twice the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx and hypopharynx, with a significant dose\u2013response relationship. Oral and oropharyngeal cancers showed a non-significant increase in risk. A significant increase in risk of laryngeal and lung cancers was noted for subjects regularly exposed to WD for &gt;20 years. Cancers of the oesophagus and gastric cardia did not show any risk associated with WD.
