T h t topic of ca/cmogens it one about which then it much confusion and alio much misunderstanding. `Thii in turn leadt to the development of lean and apprehensions. At tn clinical medicine, the word cancer in industry immediately tcem i to lead to despair, whereat our approach thouid be straight forward and intelligent. I think of cancer in industry ju it at I do about any other potentially toxic problem in in* dutiry. What we need when a problem develops is knowledge--knowledge ol the process knowledge of the chemistry, knowledge of the exposure The mote w e know the more likely we are to arrive at satisfactory solution*. In this respect, then, cancer in industry is kite any other problem solving.
fin e we have to have some knowledge of the experimental methods used by oncologists to test for carcinogenicity. In the case of the skin, the tests are relatively straightforward. You w ill note that I say "relatively" because Jn fact even a skin car cinogenesis test has many elements that may serve to com plicate it Thus w e know that mice, hamsters, and rabbits do develop skin cancers in response to chemical agents painted on the skin white rats and guinea pigs seem to be refractory, and monkeys are resistant, taking long periods to do so. Thus the mouse hat generally become the animal species used in this type of experiment Painting is usually done three times a week. If done more frequently the material applied may so severely damage the skin as to make TterpreUlion of results difficult If done less frequently the latent period for cancer development may be so long tint the animals die before developing cancer. Painting should be done with a minimum of rubbing to avoid damaging the skin. Some workers even use a miCTooipttto so that no nibbing at all is done, just letting the material spread over die shaved skin in an accurately measured dose at each application The animals should be weighed periodically because if the material being painrad is tone it may interfere w ith their growth and we know that this in turn wiH interfere with tumor development
cause a skin-painbng experiment rakes so long--up to iw o years--people are always looking for shortcuts They want a chemical test or an accelerated biological test that w ill give them an answer in a few days or a few weeks. However desirable this may be, to tar none of them have held up when examined closely. Thus it was found (h it some carcinogens would cause atrophy of the sebaceous glands of the skin and tint was once proposed as a 'quickie" test However, in a study of 130 compounds, Bock & Murid' found that some car cinogenic compounds did not cause sebaceous gland atrophy, w h ie some non-carcinogenic compounds did Some chemical

tests may have limited application, but because of the wide variety of chemical compounds that have been shewn to have carcinogenic activity it would be anticipated tlut no single chemical lest would have universal applicability. Suffice it to say that an expert panel convened to advise the food 4 Drug Administration concluded that there were no truly satisfactory
short-term tests that had been sulficienilTprovtn that they could substitute for long-term carcinogenesis tests.*
Some people hive recommended that the material to be tested simply be injected or implanted s- hcuianeously into rats or truce. This has the advantage of a known dose end minimal handling of the anim als.' But this method so Ui has been shown to produce malignant tumors (sarcomas) in response to cellophane. Dacron, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, silastic, Pliofilm, Nylon, pofymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene. Saren. Ivalun, ICet-r, lotion, silk,* and glass cover slips.' in our hinds, w e found that a complex oil shown to be carcinogenic to the skin when painted caused a local abscess when injected subcutaneously which subsequently sloughed cut without tumor formation Thus this route of testing may have limited application, especially if tumors are produced at a site distant from the site of injection, but if sarcomas at the site of injection are the only tumors formed, interpretation of their significance becomes extremely difficult
Another suggested test is that of implanting the material in the bladder of mice. This suggestion arose. I believe, from an enbre misconception. Thus in die study of bladder tumors oc curring in workers in the dye industry, beu-naphthyUmme, when administered subcutaneously, was shown to produce bladder tumors in dogs but not m mice In searching for the reason for this discrepancy it was found that both man and dogs excrete 2-amino-1-naphthol as a metabolite of beta-
naphthyiamme in their urine, whereas mice do not Dr. Ceotgianna Homer, In England, concluded that maybe betanaphthyiamme was not the carcinogen after ail but the metabolite 2-anuno-1-naphthol was. To test out this theory she Impregnated small wax pellets with 2-amino-1-naphihol and implanted them suigically into the bladders of mice. Sure ik enough, the mice developed bladder cancer. However, subsequently it has been shown that cholesterol, glass, stoanc acid, magnesium stearate, hexadccanol, octadecanot, and
naphthaline* (the old-fashioned moth bail) all produced blad der tumors and cancers when implanted into the mouse blad der. None of these are suspected of bang carcinogenic. Thus this lest does not seem to be a very sound one.
incidentally, these studies of the metabolism of beunaphthyUmme have ted to extensive metabolic studies and bnsk scientific arguments about what truly the carcinogenic agent. One school supports the 2-ammo-l-naphthol metabolite

previously mentioned. itw> hive serious practical con-
sideniiijm tor other studies Thus dietfwlerw ulvcol and other
material, ire claimed by tame to be 1 carcinogen on the b in s
thit they h ive produced blidder cancers in mice. However,
such tumors and o ncers never developed unless (m l 1 ^ted
der stone s s it produced. The question then irises--is the
chem icii 1 carcinogen, or is the stone the carcinogen* It is in
teresting to note that the first experiments with cyclamates
were undertaken w ith such bladder implantation techniques
and had to be discounted until (ceding experiments were com
pleted Even now the eyetamale picture is m i clear because
them is some question that the experimental animals may have
been infected with bladder parasite*, it it w ell known that
Bitharm . a bladder infestation of humans by Schistosoma
fxmatobium. is asiociaied with bladder cancer. In Egypt,
where Btlhaizi* is endemic, bladder cancer incidence is quite
high- The Schistosomes enter the body through the flan horn
water in which the Egyptians are walking in eating for thru
fields from there they enter die bloodstream and ultimately
end :ip m the bladder. Incidentally, the secondary reservoir for
the Schistosoma hematobtum is the snail, and much work is
going on trying to find an agent that w ill kill the snail without
producing other undesirable ecological affects. The approach is
like killing the mosquito to eliminate malaria.
Another approach that lu s been recommended to try to
shorten the necessary test period for carcinogens is the use of
newborn or sery young (suckling) m ic e /ll was suggested thrl
an increased incidence and earlier appearance of malignancies
could be obtained trom 1 single injection of potent car
cinogens However, newborn rats did not respond in the same
way as newborn mice.* Rather, they responded like adult
mice, further, more complete studies have shown that this lest
method probably has few true advantages.* It may be that the
use of newborn ot ,ery young mice was predicated on the ab
sence of detoxifying enzymes m the newborn which sub.
sequently appear as the animal ages. It is known that a benz
pyrene hydroxylase exisis in the gastrointestinal tract," and it is
further known that newborns are frequently lacking enzyme
systems that are present in adults. Even today, however, there
are those who strongly urge tht newborn as a test animal
system.
Turning to experimental lung carcinogenesis, it is now
beginning to appear that multiple factors are probably
necessary to produce lung cancers in experimental animals
Thus in rats a combination of repeated influenza vuus in
fections plus ozonized gasoline" or sulfur dioxide and
benio!)pyr*ne" or 7,12-drmethyf-ben*(a)anthracene pluv
india in k " or, in hamsters, hematite plus beruo{a)pymneMall
have led to lung cancer production. The evidence indicates
that pure poiyaromanc compounds Uke beruofa) pyrene are
rapidly removed bom the lungs. However, when introduced

If in fact this is so. ^ may represent the first lim e the detection of a carcinogen b^ Jaboratory tests has subsequently beeiOofTowcd by the aojx u rin c x ot cancers in human*.

fo r completeness it should be mentioned (hat pulmonary carcinogenesis in animal* has been demonstrated for betytbum." mckel carbonyl,1* and radioactive materials.'* In terestingly enough, inhalation pulmonaiy carcinogenesis has not yet been demonstrated in expenmenu! animal* lor chromates* or asbestos,* although the lo m has pcratmwl f n . tm l'fnfru lex when inn*rad fnt/im n^yHyrtf iWraglcuraHy.

With this far-from-complete review of experimental car cinogenesis which has been given only to emphasize ihe com plexity of the problem, I should now (ike to turn to some in teresting recent epidemiological work. I shall not try to cover skin cancers in coal tar workers, mule spinners, cutting oil user*, wax pressmen, and the like, lung cancers m chromate workers, nickel refining, or asbestos w a ken (other than in sulators), bladder cancers in (he dye industry, nasal cancers in nickel refining and isopropyl alcohol manufacture, or bone sar comas in radium dial painters because these have been covered in my book* or other works. Presumably we arc discussing recent developments.
Much publicity has been given recently to asbestos as a pulmonary carcinogen and producer of pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma. Actually pulmonary cancer in asbestos workers has been recognized for 25 to 30 y e a rs* The condition was catapulted into prominence by the observations of Wagner^ in South Africa among miners and processors of asbestos and especially by Sehkoff and his coworfcers* among tmuiaiton workers What has made Sehkoff and tvs associates' work

It ts to be hoped that the industrial hygiene measures introduced among these workers wilt soon have this situation under control.* There is still some dispute among workers m this field of whether the asbestos h a direct carcinogen or whether its carcinogenicity is due to certain oils that may he piew-nt m Use asbestos naturally or through Con tamination." " Of perhaps more concern has been the ob servation that asbestos bodies can be found in the lungs of a very high percentage of people who come to autopsy and have never been exposed to asbestos its their work.*1Although this is of concern to many people, no one is yet prepared to say what its significance is. It is important not to jump to as-yct unwarranted conclusions on this observation, as I have often heard Dr. Setikoff say in talks on the subject.
As many people suspected, lung cancer incidence among uranium miners has been shown to be increased." Again, (he nsk seems to be much higher among smoking miners than among nonsmoking miners There have been 62 tung cancer deaths among 3,414 white miners and two among 761 non white miners Them seems to have been established a dosetespome mtaiumship which may hooefulty permit the elimination of this disease in the fuhitr
Recently an outbreak o* bladder cancers occurred among workers in the electric cable industry." This apparently resulted from the former use of beta-ruphthyfamine as an an tioxidant m the tubber sheathing used on the cables. Since this material has not been used by the rubber industry as an an tioxidant since about 1945, it it anticipated that these tumors w ilt soon disappear However, it does point out the long latent period that can occur, and that in searching for etrologic agents m occupational cancer it may be important historically to go lar back into the processes lo find the responsible agent
Among 8.047 workers in a metal smeller works, 147 res piratory cancer deaths among 1,877 total deaths were repott ed * The causat.se agent in this case was believed to be ar senic inertide exposures by inhalation, although some relation ship to 5 0 i exposures was also demonstrated This recalls the association between sulfur dioxide and beozo(a)pyrene in animals demonstrated by the NYU gro*ip and previously discuss'd "
A_ real surgrise has been the dempnst.-a'.or. in England'1 of
an increased risk of nasal cancer occurring in woodworkers in
the lumiture industry This seems to be associated w ith the use of hint woods To date, no one has come forward w ith a good t u n . i . to what the causative agent might be in this situation Ur-n-xihv-rlly. this observation w ill lead to extensive laboratory
stud-ex. both chem ical and biological, m an attempt to un cover !* causative agent
' he accumuiat.on m the literature of cases of leukemia
following biTtrtfV pxprisutns1***1 leads to the inevitable con clusion that benn-ne is a k-ukemugenic agent, particularly in cases that have previously displayed a panmyelopathy * Although ttys had long been suspected, the data tepormd in the literature was nut sufficiently convincing to establish the Inikemogenk nature of Iinverse. However, the more recent observations seem lo establish this association beyond a doubt More recent observations of chromosome changes in workers exposed to benzene* * lend further weight to the leukemogenk nature of benzene, tn any event in our own operations we are proceeding as if benzene was a leuken.ngrnic agent eliminating exposures wherever possible and reducing them to the lowest passible level where com plete elimination cannot be accomplished
It has been teptarted4' * that lung cancer incidence in (Vaat- . ^ 7f spar miners is 29 times the expected rue It was found in this situation that radon and radon daughter exposures are in ex cess of the maximum permissible concentrations and k is believed that this is the cause. In this respect these lung can cers are similar to those seen In uianlum miners and in the okf loachimsthil-Schneebuig mines.
A study ol tung cancer among coke oven workers in the steel industry* showed that they suffered a 2-1/2 times increated Incidence of that disease. This increased to five times among men who worked topside on the ovens, and to ten times if they worked five or more yean fulltime topside. If is likely that exposure to very high levels of benzo-a-pyrene and similar polycyclic aromatic compounds occurred, although H is quite possible, due lo the compter chemical nature of coal lar, that other promoting or co-carcioogenic, such as phenols or nitrogenous, compounds have contributed to the increased in cidence- Undoubtedly, intensive chemical and biological studies ol this situation w ilt be undertaken which w ill in time elucidate the causative agents and their comparative significance.
t have tried to develop for you tonight some of the mote recent developments in experimental carci nogenesis as applied to industrial problem, and some recent epidemlofogical studies of industrial cancers. I believe our approaches to oc cupationally induced cancer should not differ from the ap proaches we use In any potential occupatiorsal toxicity problem. We should study and become intimately acquainted with the processes involved, not simply by studying engineering or flow diagrams, but by actually getting out into the work place end observing just what is done. This w ill give us some idee of the personal hygiene of the workers involved as well as possible industrial hygiene measures that may be ap plicable. We should conduct appropriately designed toxicologicil tests, in this case carcinogenic tests, un derstanding fully the limitations and pitfalls of any such tests we conduct. We should carefully examine the workers in volved to detect early signs of exposure or early pre-cancerout changes. Thus appropriate urine or blood analyses lor nickel or chromium, or for phenols in the case of benrene exposures should be matte, in some cases early biopsy or Papanicolaou smears of appropriate secretions should be undertaken At every opportunity, we should stress the avoidance of un necessary exposure t can think of no area where the '"operative efforts of industrial hygienists, industrial nurses and industrial physicians can have a moie salutary effect than in the control of industrial carcinogens and thus in the conttol of occupational cancels
