Abstract

A number of data sources routinely available to State health departments were analyzed as part of a State health department cancer control planning effort. This planning effort consisted of seven steps; the most challenging one was the establishment of priorities for cancer control interventions. Using data from available sources, however, a framework for prioritizing potential cancer control interventions as well as choosing a geographic area in which to implement selected interventions was developed. Factors considered in this framework for setting intervention priorities included the magnitude of the problem; the existence of scientific consensus regarding the efficacy of intervention techniques; the availability of data needed to plan, implement, and evaluate an intervention; the availability of resources within communities to implement an intervention; and the existence of public demand for the intervention. The development and use of this cancer control planning model and framework for setting cancer control intervention priorities in New York State are described in this paper. In using this planning model and framework for setting priorities, quantitative elements were found to be most necessary to define problems, but qualitative elements were most crucial for decision making.

6. The American Cancer Society National Prostate Cancer Detection Project and National patterns of prostate cancer detection and treatment.

Author

Mettlin C and Mettlin, C

Abstract

The ACS National Prostate Cancer Detection Project was established in 1987 to demonstrate the feasibility of early detection as a cancer control strategy for prostate cancer. Ten years later, the compliance results suggest that early detection programs can achieve long-term participation in a healthy population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

24. Intakes of selected nutrients and food groups and risk of ovarian cancer.

Author

McCann SE, Moysich KB, and Mettlin C

Abstract

In a hospital-based case-control study, we examined dietary intakes of selected nutrients and food groups and ovarian cancer risk among 496 women with primary, histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer and 1,425 women with nonneoplastic diagnoses, ages 20-87 years, admitted to Roswell Park Cancer Institute between 1982 and 1998. Data on diet and other relevant risk factors in the few years before admission were collected with a self-administered questionnaire. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated by unconditional logistic regression adjusting for age, education, region of residence, regularity of menstruation, family history of ovarian cancer, parity, age at menarche, oral contraceptive use, and energy intake. Women in the highest vs. the lowest quartile of total energy had a weak increase in risk (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 0.90-1.73). Significantly reduced risks were associated with higher intakes of dietary fiber (OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.38-0.87), vitamin A (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.45-0.98), carotenoid (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.43-0.93), vitamin E (OR = 0.58, 95% CI = 0.38-0.88), beta-carotene (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.46-0.98), and total fruit and vegetable intake (OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.42-0.92). Our findings suggest that a diet high in plant foods may be important in reducing risk of ovarian cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Cholesterol and cancer in a population of male civil service workers.

Abstract

Baptiste M S (New York State Department of Health, Coming Tower, Albany, NY 12237–0683, USA), Nasca P C, Doyle J T, Rothenberg R R, MacCubbin P A, Mettlin C, Metzger B A and Canton K A. Cholesterol and cancer in a population of male civil service workers. 1992; 21: 16–22. Cancer incidence and mortality were ascertained in a cohort of 1910 male participants of the Albany Cardiovascular Health Center (CVHC). The New York State Cancer Registry, vital records files, CVHC follow-up records, New York State Retirement System files, and New York State Department of Motor Vehicles driver's license files were used. Serum cholesterol measurements as well as values for other exposure variables were obtained from records of medical examinations which began in 1953–1954. The study cohort was divided into two groups, based on initial serum cholesterol measurement (≤190 mg/100 ml and ≤190 mg/100 ml). For total cancers, both incidence and mortality were similar in these groups. For digestive cancer, both incidence and mortality were slightly lower in the ≤190 mg/100 ml group. The deficit was not statistically significant. For respiratory cancer, relative risk and rate ratio estimates were in the range of 1.4–1.7 for incidence and mortality. The excess risk in the ≤190 mg/100 ml group was of borderline statistical significance. The association was con centrated in the lowest cholesterol quintile rather than suggesting a strong dose-response relationship. The estimates were not found to be confounded by cigarette smoking, body mass index, education or age. A reduction in the crude rate ratio estimate from 1.5 to 1.2 was observed when early cases were excluded, suggesting that part of the observed excess may be due to preclinical cancer.
