ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the prevalence of malignant tumor and its influencing factor among rubber workers in Hainan Province of China, and to study the high incidence of cancer and type of work.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective cohort study on registered workers over 1 working age among partial rubber factories in Hainan Province in the period from 2005 to 2010.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>There was a remarkable difference in the incidence between nature exposed rubber group and non-exposed group (χ(2) = 52.13,P < 0.01). Occupational exposure induced a high risk in malignant tumors (OR = 2.47, P < 0.05). The incidence of tumor may be associated with occupational exposure the longer occupational exposure time, the higher was the incidence of tumor (χ(2) = 11.40, P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The occupational exposure in rubber workers can induce a high incidence of malignant tumor.</p>
