Cancer deaths recorded by the centralised health services of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) among its employees and their families stationed in Bombay during 1975-1987 have been analysed. Expected number of deaths due to cancer in the study group has been estimated by using the age-sex-specific cancer death rates reported for Bombay resident population for the year 1983. The size of the database for the entire DAE community is about 702,000 person years and the number of cancer deaths observed in 154. Analysis has been done separately for employees and their families, individually for important groups of cancer sites such as respiratory organs, digestive organs, breast, genito-urinary organs and lymphatic and haematopoietic systems. The standardised mortality ratios are generally lower than 100, which may partly be due to the 'healthy worker effect' in the DAE community and partly because of its differences in the social class distribution and the concomitant differences in lifestyle with respect to the comparison group of Bombay city.
对1975年至1987年期间印度原子能部（DAE）集中医疗服务部门记录的、驻孟买的员工及其家属的癌症死亡情况进行了分析。研究组中癌症死亡的预期人数是利用1983年孟买常住人口报告的年龄别和性别别癌症死亡率估算出来的。整个原子能部社区的数据库规模约为70.2万人年，观察到的癌症死亡人数为154人。已分别对员工及其家属进行了分析，针对呼吸器官、消化器官、乳腺、生殖泌尿系统以及淋巴和造血系统等重要癌症部位类别单独进行了分析。标准化死亡率一般低于100，这可能部分归因于原子能部社区的“健康工人效应”，部分原因是其社会阶层分布与孟买市对照组不同以及随之而来的生活方式差异。
