A survey of state health departments indicates the number of cancer cluster reports received is associated with the size of the state, the presence of a population-based tumor registry, and the existence of a centralized system for response. Cancer cluster investigations, have generally been unproductive in terms of etiologic discoveries yet they may have important benefits in terms of public education, allaying public anxiety about environmental concerns and engendering good will toward government agencies.
一项对各州卫生部门的调查表明，收到的癌症聚集报告数量与州的规模、基于人群的肿瘤登记处的存在以及集中响应系统的存在有关。癌症聚集调查在病因学发现方面通常没有成效，但在公众教育、减轻公众对环境问题的焦虑以及赢得公众对政府机构的好感方面可能具有重要益处。
