The risk of development of bronchi and lungs cancer (BLC) in workers, exposed to dust containing SiO2, is characterized by a long-term course of pneumoconiosis (PC), chronic bronchitis (CB), chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). To morpho- functional signs, which contribute to high risk of BLC development in patients, the occurrence and progress of the following dis¬orders in patients with PC can be referred: diffusive pneumosclerosis, emphysema, interstitial (s-type) and nodular (p-nodular) changes, addition of the tuberculosis process and development of the mixed type of lungs insufficiency; in patients with CB and COLD — development of the diffusive pneumosclerosis, lungs insufficiency of mixed or obstructive types. A three-step system of actions has been proposed, directed at prophylaxis and early diagnostics of BLC in patients with PC, CB and COLD.

Key words: SiO2, bronchi and lungs cancer, pneumoconiosis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive lung disease, risk factors, prevention
