A case-control study was conducted to investigate possible relationships between employment in the textile industry and cancers of the prostate and colon. Death certificate information on occupation and industry was obtained for 1037 male prostatic cancer cases, 820 male and female colon cases, and matched controls who died during 1970-1978 in South Carolina. Black males were the only race-sex group to show an excess risk of prostate or colon cancer among employees of the textile industry. Nonstatistically significant excesses of prostate cancer were seen in dyeing and finishing businesses and broad woven fabric mills. Overall, there was no strong evidence indicating a relationship between the textile industry and either prostate or colon cancer. It is unlikely that limitations of the data masked real risks since previously reported associations with nontextile industries were confirmed.
开展了一项病例对照研究，以调查在纺织行业工作与前列腺癌和结肠癌之间可能存在的关系。获取了1970年至1978年期间在南卡罗来纳州死亡的1037例男性前列腺癌病例、820例男性和女性结肠癌病例以及匹配对照的职业和行业的死亡证明信息。黑人男性是纺织行业员工中唯一显示出前列腺癌或结肠癌风险过高的种族-性别群体。在印染和整理企业以及阔幅织物厂中，观察到前列腺癌有非统计学意义的过量。总体而言，没有强有力的证据表明纺织行业与前列腺癌或结肠癌之间存在关联。由于之前报告的与非纺织行业的关联得到了证实，因此数据的局限性不太可能掩盖实际风险。
