Respiratory Cancer in a Scottish Industrial Community: A Retrospective Case-control Study

O.LI. LLOYD0, ELEANOR IRELAND, HELEN TYRRELL and FIONA WILLIAMS

Environmental Epidemiology and Cancer Centre, Wolfson Institute of Occupational Health Dundee

A retrospective case-control study was undertaken as part of an enquiry into possible causes of an epidemic of lung cancer in an industrial town in central Scotland. Relatives of the cases and controls answered a questionnaire which encompassed aspects of the social and occupational personal history of the deceased. Despite the length of time intervening between the period of mortality and this investigation, enough questionnaires were completed to allow the histories of the cases and controls to be usefully compared.

The results indicate that smoking and occupation contributed little to the aetiology of the outbreak of lung cancer in Armadale.
