This article aims to review the research progress on the association and characteristics of different factors in the occupational environment with lung cancer,bladder cancer and other common malignant tumors among textile workers,and to provide a reference basis for comprehensive assessment of cancer risk at different work levels in the textile industry and the development of a monitoring and early warning system for occupational related tumors.
