The Carcinoembryonic Antigen Level Among Tobacco Workers

Year 1994, Volume: 11 Issue: 3, - , 22.12.2009

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels among smoker and nonsmoker workers who work in a tobacco factory. The control group was farmers who live in a rural area. Among the smokers and nonsmokers who work in the tobacco factory, the mean serum CEA levels were not different statistically (p>0.05). But, in the control group mean serum CEA levels were significantly different between smokers and nonsmokers (p<0.05). Therefore, it is suggested that the inhalation of tobac¬co dust or some other way causes increasing CEA serum levels among tobacco factory workers. In this type of working places, cancer screening by regular intervals is necessa¬ry-




Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir sigara fabrikasında çalışan işçilerden sigara içenler ve içmeyenler arasında karsinoembriyojenik antijen (CEA) düzeyini araştırmaktı. Kontrol grubu olarak kırsal alanda yaşayan çiftçiler alındı. Sigara fabrikasında çalışanlardan siga¬ra içenler ve içmeyenler arasında ortalama serum CEA düzeyleri açısından istatistiksel olarak bir fark bulunamadı (p>0.05). Ancak, kontrol grubundaki ortalama serum CEA düzeyleri ile sigara içenler ve içmeyenlerin düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p<0.05). Bunun üzerine sigara toz inhalasyonu ya da diğer bazı nedenlerin sigara fabri¬kasında çalışan işçilerde serum CEA düzeylerini artırdığı öne sürüldü. Bu tip işyerlerinde, düzenli aralıklarla kanser taraması yapılması gerektiği vurgulandı.
