interviewed was murr likell to have metastatic disease at<br />
diagnosis but was similar in all demographic variables<br />
measured . In addititrtt, information abstracted from<br />
medical rti-cords showed similar smoking status for those<br />
intervicwed and those nt>t interviewed . If cases who were<br />
not interviewed bccause of poor survival differed from<br />
those who survived longer and were interviewed in terms<br />
of the other risk facturs under study, this could have<br />
biased our results . However, this appears unlikely since<br />
our data showed tha( histories of childhood pneumonia<br />
and <strong>exposure</strong> to coal fires were similar among cases<br />
regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis . There is also no<br />
evidence that <strong>cancer</strong> survival is associated with dietary<br />
vitamin A intake .<br />
The etiology of 5CC can be explained almost entirely<br />
bt cigarette smoking . Cigarette smoking, however, explains<br />
only about half of the ADC cases . On the basis of<br />
this study, childhood <strong>lung</strong> disease and <strong>exposure</strong> to coal<br />
fires in childhood explain at least another 22% of ADC<br />
cases . Passive smoking and vitamin A ma}• be involved,<br />
but more research is needed to clarify their roles in <strong>lung</strong><br />
<strong>cancer</strong> etiolog} .<br />
