Statement of -Eleanor J. tdacdonald
Professor .°aneritus of Epidemiology
Department of Cancer Prevention
L'niversity of Texas System Cancer Center
M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, Houston, Texas
Mv name is Eleanor Macdonald, Professor Emeritus of
Epidemiology at the University of Texas System Cancer Center,
M.D. anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute, Houston. I have
worked in the field of epidemiology for over 40 years in three
state programs in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Texas; in fact,
I established the first state cancer registry in the U. S. Prcm
1948 through 1974, I chaired the Department of Epidemiology at
the University of Texas System Cancer Center. I have authored or
coauthored about 150 publications, most of which deal wi"^h
different phases of cancer epidemiology, and I remain actively
involved in a number of ongoing research studies in epidemic'ogy.
I an also the editor of the Epidemiology, Statistics and Cancer
Control section of the Yearbook of Cancer.
I share the concerns of this Committee regarding cancer
morbidi`y and mortality, and Z encourage legitimate efforts to
control this disease. However, as a scientist who has dedicated
her professional career to a careful study of cancer epidemi-
ology, I an appalled at the belief implicit in H.R. 495?,
H.R. 5653, and S. 1929 that Congress can legislate scientific

cancer and it is not in the best interest of
or government to take a simplistic apprcach to the

that we have not yet begun to understand. For

We cannot send all death certificates to one infallible
pathologist for correction and confirmation. We cannot force all
individuals supplying the raw data to epidemiologists, or even
all epidemiologists themselves, to demand the type of precision
necessary in data gathering and review to ir.sure that the cuali*_y
of the data meets high scientific standards. Consequent':y,
iudgments about chronic disease causation based on
epidemiological findings must be highly tentative; they do not
enjoy the absolute certainty implied in the findings of these
three bills.
:^crtality data are frequently used by eoidemiologists
to study disease trends, often wit!:cut _°u'_1 awareness of inherent
weaknesses in these data. :?ortal'-tl rates are cbtained from
information on death certificates furnis'r.id by physicians or
local health officials. Although I am certain that every effort
is generally made to fill these out conscientiousi_, errors do
occur -- in diagnosis as well as in recording of the data.
In addition, other excgenous influences can cause pro-
found fluctuations in mortality data over the years that can
easily be misinterpreted as changing disease trends. For
example, the introductions of each of the seven revisioiis of the
International Lists of Diseases and Causes of Death (ICD) have

The 1965 ICD revision, acco*_ed in 1968, seriousl
compl'_cated the situation by deleting the unspecified catego r.
This revision effectively combined primary and unspecified lung
cancer, thereby removing a needed safeguard for accuracy.
Primary and secondary lung cancer are separate disease entities,
with quite possibl_v distinctly different causes. Since ten ger-
cent of all cancers spread to the lung, and since, for nearlv
twenty years, more deaths were coded in the unspecified than in
the primary category, the combination of those two categories
seriously confused the lung cancer data. The damage done to
epidemiological investigations of lung cancer by the 1965 classi-
'_ication chanae cannot be underestimated. In the ninth revision
(i980), greater confusion was added by placing the bronchus and
_ung unspecified as the ninth subdivision of ari:iary lung ca ncer
(162.9). Death certificates seldcm list more than a three-diait
number, such as 162. t1e simply cannot separate cut °rom the
mortali ty data the specific information we need to study '_una
cancer scientificallv.
Another aspect of the problem of changing disease
classifications can be found b_v comparing trends in stomac^h and
lung cancer. In the first half of this century, the phrase
"question of gastric cancer" was used .._eauentl_i on death certi-
ficates when a cachectic oatient died within davs or hours of
first summoning a?hysician. It is fascinating to see that in

47 states, wi_aiz two years of the ir.troduction of the 1348
_evision, the reported gastric cancer mort.ai:`_ rates dreo_'.ed as
suddenl_v as the unspecified lung cancer ones rose. Thus, the two
changes may in part represent a shift of cuestionable diagnosis
from the difficult to diagnose stomach cancer to the ecually
difficult to diagnose lung cancer classl=lcat:on.
Besides studying anomalies that have developed in
overall lung cancer trends, I have also examined trends in the
reported lung cancer mortality rates for women in this century.
?or years, t:ose individuals who believed that smoking caused
_ung cancer `ocused almost solely cn male lung cancer, and
generaliy tended to ignore female lung cancer. Irn recent years,
however, more attention has been given to female lung cancer
because of reoorts of an increase in female lu.^.g cancer and the
claim that increased cigarette smoking was responsibie. I do not
;ccea* this internretation because I have serious sc'_entific
reservaticns abcut both the accurscy of the underlving data and
the conclusions drawn frcm it.
First of all, we simply do not have reliable data on
smokina oreva:ence in women -- or in men, for that matter. The
best information we have is from the National Health Survey
=eccrts, yet the 1979 reoort, for exampie, has a standard error
(6)

574
of 30 percent. That percentage of error is too high to prcvi4-e a
basis for drawina definitive conclusions.
Secondly, I have doubts about whether lung cancer in
women has actually increased dramatically. As I indicated
earlier, national mortality data may not be reliable. _f we
assume for the sake of argument, however, that they are _eiiable,
We can still question the argument that female lung cancer has
increased sharply in recent years. Although the age-ad'_usted
J.S. death rates from respiratory cancer in white females show a
consistent increase from 1953 through 1975, the rate of t::is
increase has varied over this period. A smoothed year-to-year
variation in the rate of increase -- the slope -- indicates that
a sharp rise began around 1960, but leveled off around 1970.
Althougn the rate of increase has begun to rise again, it is not
as steep an ascent as in the 1960's.
This is important because the slope gives a predictive
picture of the overall mortality trend. And the slope that I see
for female lung cancer suggests a stabilization. It :-iay even
nredict a decline in lunc cancer mcrtalitv in the coming years.
Other factors must also be considered in an anal.rsis of
the apparent increase in female lung cancer. One such =actor,
inaccurate repor`ina, appears _o have played apredominant _.,__.

xy analysis of both reporting techniques and _.._ r.cer:_~i~c d_ _a
suggests that lung cancer in women was underrepor_ed _.. _.._ ~as=
and is being overreported now.
Underreporting may have occurred pri^:ari'_: because of
three c'_inical factors: 1) less ciinicai interest _.n female :ung
cancer, 2) inadequate diagnostic tools, and 3) clinicai mis-
iacnosis of lung cancer as tuberculosis or other _espiratory
diseases. First of all, for many years, clinicians tended
believe that women were less likely than men to develcp luaa
cancer, and that belief
could have affected their diaar.eses.
Second, physicians were less capable of detecting lung cancer,
because they simply did not have adequate means c= d>scoveri::c
the presence of a cancer. Third, mainly as a consequence e'
_i:ese limitations, physicians may have confused lung cancer wioh
ct:er resniratory diseases, particu'_ar'_v tuberculos'_s. 7._ ot:zer
words, t`.:e,7 may have diagnosed tuberculosis N:en in fact t~ie
catient had lung cancer.
The introduction of antibiotics and other drugs led _c
a shar= decline in deaths from tuberculosis and other _..'ect'_eus
diseases. With isoniazide and these other drugs at their dis-
gosal, physicians could suddenly separate the luna cancer
tat'_ents from the tuberculosis patients, because r's.e T3 patients
.anerall. i:aproved after drug therapy whereas _:e cancer patier.ts
(8)

576
did not. The abrupt drop in tuberculosis
rates _f___
the zntrcduction of isoniazide in 1952, and t:ze nea-
simultaneous increase in reported lung
cancer rates, provide
substantial suppcrt for my belief that these diseases were o:ten
confused clinicallv. Therefore, as these druas became
_ncreasing'_y available, underreporting of female lung cancer
became less common.
IInfortunate'_y, there is evidence which suggests that
today lung cancer in women is overreported. This may occur in
one of two wavs: (1) clinicians are not always able to dis-
tinguish between primary and secondary lung cancer. As discussed
earlier, the distinction is of obvious '_mportance for a factual
cour.t of pr'_marv lung cancer cases. T.`.e, only truly effective way
to determine whether lunc cancer is orimarv or secor.darv is
through autopsv, and few cases of cancer deaths in this countr,l
are autopsied. In general, the autoosy rate is about 12 percent.
When one considers that this percentage includes all the
accidental and viclent deaths that must be autopsied, or.e
understands ]IIst how 1Cw the autCpsV rate f.._ lung cancer may be.
This issue becomes even more crucial because pr'_-:ary lung cancer
is one of the more difficult diacnoses to establish ci'_nicallv.
(2) The current ICD classification combines primar^'and
unspecified lung cancer into one category. Even i'_ the cl_n'_c'_an
could cerrectl_v distinguish primary from unspecif_ed lung cancer,

:m unspeci:ied lung cancer,
t:e effort would be negated by classification met`.cds. Thus,
both prinary and unspeciiied lung cancers are combined a .n the
reports that have described increases in lung cancer in women.
Therefore, changes '_n diagnostic techniques and chances
iz disease ncmenclature are very important because, speaking from
the epidemiologists' point of view, we cannct be sure that the
reported trends in lung cancer among women accurately reflect the
true incidence or the disease.
Further support for my skepticism regarding an
_denti`ication of cigarette smoking as the primary cause of lung
cancer stems from my own research _nvestigations of this disease.
_n one, a study of lung cancer in Saanish surnamed and Anglo
women in El Paso, we =ound a high incidence of the disease in the
Spanish surnamed, 64 percent of whom were smokers. Although the
same percentage of the Anclo women also smoked, their rate of
lung cancer was half that of the Spanish surnamed. tve concluded
that we had to rule out smoking as tae significant factor.
lnstead, the most important factor i.^n the Spanish surnamed
women's lung cancer was their residence from birth to adul=:ced
in adobe houses. These are solidly built, nearly airtight and
poorly ventilated structures heated mostly by wood tires, which

In a much larger study, mv colleagues and I_:amined
the relationshio of environmental and ethnic factors to cancer
mortality by site for every state and region of the U. S. for a
twenty year period. We began with a very large number of vari-
abies or factors, from which we selected 12, among them c'-garette
consumption, intake of different kinds of alcoholic beverages,
ethnic background, oollution, income, temperature, etc. We used
these to derive sophisticated statistical models of the geo-
graphic patterns of cancer mortality in the U. S. These models
were an attempt to describe b_v statistical ecuaticns the
relationships between certain factors and cancer mortality.
Gie found that all the factcrs used in the study
accounted for only 36 percent of the geographic variation ir,
white female death rates from cancer of the bronchus and lunc
speci;ied as primary. °he best model -- which eliminated the
unimportant factors and brought into focus the important ones --
accounted for 29 percent. (In contrast, the models accounted for
89.5 percent of the variation in cancer of the breast.) This
indicates that unknown but crucial =actors were not included in
the variable cool from which the model =or primary lung cancer
was derived. Cigaret*_e consumption, which was included, turned
out not to be a factor.

We also discovered aaarn'_ng in the basic data dividing
__imarv lung cancer from the unspeci'ied category of 1sne cancer
-- for both white females and white males. This is imoortant
because it shows we can't be sure lung cancer rates, as reported,
resent a factual oicture.
There are other important considerations _ cuired in a
balanced discussion of lung cancer in women. For instance, women
iz increasing numbers have, over the last 35 years, :eft the jobs
_:ey have traditionally performed and have entered wcr% areas
'orierlv reserved for men. Wome.^n are now esxsed to _=:e same
commun'_ty and work environments as men, and there are many
.n:cncwn carcinogenic potentials i.^n these env'-ronments.
The tremendous varietv of toxic and carcinccenic
airborne chemicals preduced by industry and released into _.^.docr
and outdoor environments, in our homes and our '_aces,
suggest a set of factors which may be .^tertant _.. '.ur.g cancer
etiology. In 1976, 1 published a 30 year study which examined
:e oossib'_e _z'luence of the oetro-chemica'_ _ndustr e:aosures
in :custon upon lung cancer mortality, heart diseases, and ct:er
_esniratorv diseases. In certain areas clustered around _ndus-
__ial ?acilities, mortai?ty rates °rom respiratory cancer and
.,taer diseases were found to be ver high -- so ..igh, _.. fact,
=`ac dea=hs °rcr: _=sciratori diseases near'_; doubled over the

580
last 15 year period. Outside the industrial "pathway," morta!ity
rates had remained stable for twenty years. A similar _indina
was made by Clemmesen in an industrial city in Denmark. These
epidemioloa_ical findings are strongly suggestive of the fact that
industrial exposure factors underlie the etiology of lung cancer.
I might add that I saw no evidence that cigarette smoking could
explain the peculiar disease patterns I found in Houston.
Our increasing ability to identify industrial carcino-
gens has opened many avenues of study and emphasized the
_.^..portance of industrial environments. Control of these carcino-
gens at their source offers the most positive potential for
prevention of lung cancer.
To date, epidemiological studies of lung cancer have
not generally included adequate in'or:nation about occupationai
exposures. Frequently, an epidemiologist may get little more
than a brief indication of occupation -- such as, "construction
worker." This tells us nothing about that person's actual
exposure. At the M. D. lndersor., cne of the major centers in the
U. S. for the study and treatment of cancer, records are ever.
less informative: the vast majority of cancer patients' reccrds
simply list "retired" as the occupation. How helpful, then, can
we expect the reccrds of private practitioners and community
hosoitals to be? Even when attempts are made to elicit fu'_1

incomplete. I seriously doubt if the typical industrial worker
has an exact record of the hazardous substances, much less the
amounts, to which he may have been exposed over a 30-40 year time
?eriod. And his wife, who mav well describe her occupation as
housewife, would undoubtedly know even less about the substances
she cleaned from his work clothes all those years.
Still other important areas of research, besides the
above mentioned, are emerging in our study of the puzzle of
cancer causation. Scientists are beginning to recognize the
pcssibie roles played by nutritional imbalances in the et:oloay
of cancer. ?'_thcuQh this ..iscioiine is still in its infanci and
conclusions do not appear to be immediately forthcoming, this new
area of research does point to _he fact that there exist many
scientific unknowns in the study of cancer causation.
From mv own studies and from a considerable amount of
.,:her researca , morted in the "_*_e-ature, _,t is _:^.ere=cre
pparent that calling cigarette smoking the sincle na;or
causative factor in female lung cancer is an oversimplification
.,f a ver_v complex epidemiological problem.
