Trends of Lung Cancer in Northern Florida

Authors: CHARLES H. HENNEKENS MD, JOHN E. DAVIES MD, ROBERT S. LEVINE MD, FRANKLIN W. BRIESE PhD, CHARLES W. NORDWALL MS

Abstract

Although the entire state of Florida has experienced an increase in lung cancer mortality during the present decade, a differential rise among white men has been observed in Duval, a county in its northeastern region. This increase is not explained by population changes or migration of cases. It is hypothesized that an industrial exposure involving paper and pulp manufacturing, shipbuilding, or petroleum may account for these findings.
