ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Analysis and comparison of clinical guidelines (CG) on malignant neoplasms of the respiratory system, placed in the CG rubricator of the Ministry of Health of Russia, for the information they contain on the role of factors and working conditions of the working environment in the etiology of respiratory diseases, including the upper respiratory tract, and comparison this information with published and regularly updated data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical recommendations from the heading of the Ministry of Health of Russia "Cancer of the laryngopharynx", "Cancer of the nasopharynx", "Cancer of the oropharynx", "Cancer of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses", "Cancer of the larynx", "Cancer of the trachea", "Cancer of the lung", and IARC data according to the List of Classific ations by cancer sites with sufficient or limited evidence in humans dated 11/29/2019. RESULTS: The low level of registration of occupational cancer of the upper respiratory tract in Russia is due to an inadequate system of criteria for detecting this form of occupational pathology, a long latency period of diseases, and insufficient assessment of the history of information on the potential role of occupational carcinogens. The CGs developed to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms of the respiratory system do not contain up-to-date information on the role of professional potential carcinogens in the genesis of malignant neoplasms. CONCLUSION: Recognition of the professional nature of malignant neoplasms of the respiratory system implies, firstly, strengthening the role of otorhinolaryngologists in early diagnosis and rehabilitation of patients, and secondly, it has a pronounced preventive focus in the form of tasks facing the employer to reduce the carcinogenic load and develop preventive measures aimed to reduce and prevent the development of malignant tumors in workers, including the respiratory system.
