全世界有数以千计的工人从事纺织业。纺织工业涉及使用不同种类的染料，这些染料被认为具有致癌特性。这些行业中使用的溶剂还与包括癌症在内的各种与健康相关的危害有关。在之前关于纺织和钢铁行业的研究中，作者报告了它们之间的遗传毒性，并观察到纺织行业工人中发生癌症死亡。因此，人们试图汇编关于纺织业工人中不同类型癌症患病率的研究。为编写本论文，进行了广泛的文献检索。关于纺织业工人癌症发生情况的论文是从1976年到2015年发表的。世界各地的纺织业都在使用各种纺织染料和溶剂，其中许多都是致癌物质。因此，纺织业工人持续暴露在这些染料、溶剂、纤维粉尘和各种其他有毒化学物质中。本研究通过查阅各种现有的报告和研究，评估了不同的化学和物理因素对职业暴露工人致癌的可能性。论文使用不同的数据库收集，许多研究报告了纺织业与不同类型的癌症的关联，包括肺癌、膀胱癌、结直肠癌和乳腺癌。在阅读了现有的报告后，可以得出结论，纺织业不同工种的工人患癌症的风险更高，因为纺织业使用的各种化学品是有毒的，可能会对健康造成潜在的危害，导致他们患上癌症。评估纺织行业不同工作级别的癌症风险，可能有助于评估工人的总体风险，并制定未来的癌症预防策略。
Thousands of workers are engaged in textile industry worldwide. Textile industry involves the use of different kinds of dyes which are known to possess carcinogenic properties. Solvents used in these industries are also associated with different health related hazards including cancer. In previous studies on textile and iron industries, the authors have reported genotoxicity among them and observed occurrence of cancer deaths among textile industry workers. Thus, an attempt has been made to compile the studies on the prevalence of different types of cancers among textile industry workers. A wide literature search has been done for compiling the present paper. Papers on cancer occurrence among textile industry workers have been taken from 1976 to 2015. A variety of textile dyes and solvents, many of them being carcinogenic, are being used worldwide in the textile industry. The textile industry workers are therefore, in continuous exposure to these dyes, solvents, fibre dusts and various other toxic chemicals. The present study evaluates the potential of different chemicals and physical factors to be carcinogenic agents among occupationally exposed workers by going through various available reports and researches. Papers were collected using different databases and a number of studies report the association of textile industry and different types of cancer including lung, bladder, colorectal and breast cancer. After going through the available reports, it can be concluded that workers under varied job categories in textile industries are at a higher risk of developing cancer as various chemicals used in the textile industry are toxic and can act as potential health risk in inducing cancer among them. Assessing the cancer risk at different job levels in textile industries may be found useful in assessing the overall risk to the workers and formulating the future cancer preventive strategies.
