Summary

This paper continues the series by Mancuso, Stewart and Kneale (MSK) on studies 
of cancer risks for radiation workers at Hanford. It concentrates on the statistical 
problems posed by the need to estimate and control for job related mortality risks 
when there are several changes of occupation and no certainty about how different 
occupations are related to two socio-economic factors which have strong health 
associations, namely, education and income. The final conclusion is that for tissues 
which are sensitive to cancer-induction by radiation there is a cancer risk for 
Hanford exposures whose dose response is curvilinear with long latency and 
increasing effect with increasing exposure age.
