Abstract
A previous 18 yr follow-up study revealed no significant excess of cancer among men who served in the Army during Wold War II as radiological technologists (n = 6560) as compared with men who served as medical, laboratory, or pharmacy technologists (n = 6826). Extension of the follow-up by 11 yr (1946-1974) revealed that 145 former radiological technologists died of cancer, as compared with 158 controls. No statistically significant differences were found between these groups for individual sites of cancer or for deaths from other causes.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
