Like childhood cancer, adult cancer was found to be associated with high-current electrical wiring configurations (HCCs) near the patient's residence. Such wiring can expose occupants of the residence to alternating magnetic fields (AMFs) at a level which, though very low, may produce physiological effects. Several patterns in the data suggest that HCCs and cancer may be causally linked: (1) a dose-relationship was found. (2) The association did not appear to be an artefact of age, urbanicity, neighbourhood, or socioeconomic level. (3) The association was most clearly demonstrable where cancer caused by urban/industrial factors was least apt to obscure the effect. (4) A distinct pattern of latency between first exposure to the HCC and cancer diagnosis was seen, which is consistent with a hypothesis of cancer promotion produced by AMF exposure.
与儿童癌症一样，研究发现成人癌症与患者住所附近的高电流电线配置（HCCs）有关。这种电线会使住所居住者暴露于交变磁场（AMF）中，尽管该磁场水平非常低，但仍可能产生生理影响。数据中的几种模式表明，HCCs与癌症可能存在因果关系：（1）发现了剂量关系。（2）这种关联似乎不是年龄、城市化程度、社区或社会经济水平造成的假象。（3）在城市/工业因素导致的癌症最不易掩盖这种影响的地方，这种关联最为明显。（4）首次接触HCC与癌症诊断之间存在明显的潜伏期模式，这与AMF暴露促进癌症发生的假设一致。
