Early Lung Cancer Detection in Uranium Miners with Abnormal Sputum Cytology. Technical Progress Report for Jul 1, 1996 through June 30, 1999.

[摘要] The study was funded by the Department of Energy to monitor the health effects of radon exposure and/or cigarette smoke on uranium workers from the Colorado Plateau. The resulting Saccomanno Uranium Workers Archive and data base has been used as a source of information to prove eligibility for compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act and as the source of primary data tissue for a subcontract and other collaborations with outside investigators. The latter includes a study of radon exposure and lung cancer risk in a non-smoking cohort of uranium miners (subcontract); a study of genetic markers for lung cancer susceptibility; and a study of (sup 210)Pb accumulation in the skull as a biomarker of radon exposure.
