In an hypothesis-generating activity, data in a population-based cancer registry were analyzed according to occupation and industry. The number of cases of multiple myeloma was found to be excessive for females in the occupation "cosmetologists, hairdressers and manicurists." Race did not explain the excess. People in this occupation have potential exposure to a number of chemicals that produce mutations in bacteria. Studies should be done to investigate the hypothesis that these chemicals cause multiple myeloma in cosmetologists.
在一项生成假设的活动中，根据职业和行业对基于人群的癌症登记数据进行了分析。发现在“美容师、美发师和美甲师”职业中，女性多发性骨髓瘤病例数过多。种族并不能解释这种过量现象。从事该职业的人有可能接触到多种能在细菌中产生突变的化学物质。应该开展研究来调查这些化学物质导致美容师患多发性骨髓瘤这一假设。
