Abstract
In 1985 a report was published on incidence of cancer
and cancer mortality among a cohort of 1807 workers
from a semiconductor factory.' For the total study
cohort, observed numbers of deaths (and incident
cases) for all cancers were close to those expected.
For incidence of melanoma, three cases were
observed and 0 68 were expected. This excess was of
borderline significance at the 5% level and was not
associated with either duration of employment in
the plant or duration of employment in the photomasking
process-a process that involves potential
exposure to ultraviolet light. This report provides
results from a further seven years of follow upnamely
mortality data to the end of 1989 and data on
the incidence of cancer to the end of 1988
