Ongoing epidemiologic cancer research programs are described. These programs were developed by the Epidemiology and Demography Unit, Cancer Center of Hawaii, established in July 1974. During the 15-month period prior to the Pacific Basin Conference, many epidemiologic projects were initiated. Major descriptive, epidemiologic studies were undertaken: a) cancer mortality among the Japanese in Hawaii, adjusted by prefecture-of-origin; b) time trend of mortality rates for 80 causes between 1910--70; c) evaluation of race classification in Hawaii; d) survival analysis; and e) increased lung cancer rates among Japanese migrants in relation to smoking. Major analytic, epidemiologic studies were as follows: a) an international case-control study on breast cancer in relation to diet and exogenous estrogens; b) association between height and weight and various types of cancer; c) a follow-up study of about 9,000 shipyard workers exposed to asbestos; d) an epidemiologic survey on a 2- to 3-% sample population of Hawaii; and e) a follow-up study on leprosy patients in relation to their risks for cancer.
描述了正在进行的癌症流行病学研究项目。这些项目由1974年7月成立的夏威夷癌症中心流行病学与人口统计学部门开展。在太平洋盆地会议召开前的15个月期间，启动了许多流行病学项目。开展了主要的描述性流行病学研究：a）按原籍县调整的夏威夷日本人的癌症死亡率；b）1910年至1970年间80种病因的死亡率时间趋势；c）夏威夷种族分类评估；d）生存分析；e）日本移民中肺癌发病率上升与吸烟的关系。主要的分析性流行病学研究如下：a）一项关于乳腺癌与饮食和外源性雌激素关系的国际病例对照研究；b）身高体重与各类癌症之间的关联；c）对约9000名接触石棉的造船厂工人的随访研究；d）对夏威夷2%至3%抽样人群的流行病学调查；e）对麻风病人患癌风险的随访研究。
