Abstract
In a retrospective case-control study on female lung cancer 130 (65%) of 200 cases suffered from a tumor group Kreyberg I and 70 (35%) from a Kreyberg II tumor. Significantly more Kreyberg I cases (75%) than controls (22%) were smokers and significantly more Kreyberg I than Kreyberg II cases (29%). There were no differences in the proportions of ex-smokers but the duration of nonsmoking was significantly shorter in Kreyberg I cases (4 yr) than in controls (12 yr) and in Kreyberg II cases (9 yr). Patients with Kreyberg I (88%) and Kreyberg II (90%) tumors significantly more often preferred high-tar group III (> 24 mg/cigarette) cigarettes than controls (63%). Patients with Kreyberg I tumors differed significantly from controls by longer smoking careers (40 yr) and higher daily consumption of group III (18/day [d]) and group I (18/d) cigarettes. Patients with a Kreyberg II tumor had a significant higher consumption (20/d) of group I cigarettes than controls. Female lung cancer patients (74%) more often than controls (64%) reported occupations other than housewives. There were no other significant differences in the occupational patterns between patients and controls.
