Those being studied include cooks, ste am -fitters and all others who w ork w ith asbestos; welders, p ainters; lead, zinc and copper m iners, w orkers in the engine room s of ships and oper a to r s of `o v e rh e a d co n v ey o rs of m olten m etals. . T he check-up w as disclosed a t a sem inar on cancer research a t the Elm s H otel here. I t is being sponsored by the A m eri can C ancer Society. Dr. L ester Breslow, epidem i ologist of the California S tate D epartm ent of H ealth, said he had questioned m ore th an 70, 000 w orkers in those fields by m ail about th eir health status, especially in relation to cancer, and was tabulating the answ ers sta tistic a lly . O ther Cause Sought The study is scientifically sig nificant because w hereas some epidem iologists believe th a t they have proved th a t cigarette sm oking is a m ajor cause of lung cancer, other scientists say th a t cig arette sm oking is not enough in itself to account for the m arked increase in the incidence of th a t disease over the last, forty years. 1 Thus scientific investigators are checking occupational haz ards th a t m ight account for th e su b stan tial m inority" of lung cancer cases caused by som ething else, D r. Breslow continued. L ung cancer p atien ts in thirteen California hospitals w ere tabulated by occupation. These were compared w ith an equal num ber of patients hospi talized for diseases other than cancer. Am ong the lung cancer cases w ere fourteen w elders. Only two w elders w ere am ong the non-cancer group. The other proportions w ere: C ooks 35 c a n c e r cases a n d 21 n o n -c a n c e r: m olten m etals con veyors, 5 and l; steam -ritters 10 a n d 1; p a in te rs 22 a n d 12; lead zinc and copper m iners 9 and 3; m arine engine room w o rk e rs 12 a n d 6. Dr. Breslow and the other epidem iologists em phasized their unanim ous agreem ent th a t cigarette sm oking w as a prim e cause of lung cancer. B ut, in th eir opinion, c ertain occupa tional h azard s could have a "booster" effect in sm okers and affect non-sm okers.
