This study concerned a group of ex-workers (372 males and 99 females) from a firm situated in Bergamo (Italy) that ceased its activity at the beginning of the Nineties. From an introductory analysis of the results, we found out that there isn't excess in the death-rate for liver and bile ducts cancers among the males of this group. Among them, for what concerns the other tumoral pathologies, such as leukaemia and stomach tumors, the information allowed to verify an excess of mortality. However, this increase hasn't result statistically significant. On the contrary, it came out that there is an excess of risk for intestine tumors: standardized death-rate of 2.58. In accordance with the information collected, for the future it will be necessary to carefully examine the research in order to verify the existence of a direct connection to the exposure at PCB and study the incidence (not only for mortality) of these neoplasms.
