Proposed Project

    The Incidence of Breast and Other Cancers among Female Flight 
Attendants--New--National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)--Flight 
attendants experience exposures which may affect breast cancer risk 
including exposure to elevated levels of cosmic radiation and circadian 
rhythm disruption. This study will evaluate the incidence of breast and 
other cancers among a cohort of approximately 10,000 women who were 
employed as flight attendants.
    The occurrence of breast and other cancers will be obtained from 
death certificates and from telephone interviews with living women and 
next-of-kin of deceased women. Each interview will take approximately 
60 minutes to complete. Medical records will be requested to confirm 
cancer diagnoses. The primary analysis will evaluate the risk of breast 
and other cancers associated with occupational exposure within the 
cohort. The secondary analysis will compare the incidence of breast and 
other cancers in the cohort to that in the general population, with 
adjustment for factors which might increase cancer risk in the cohort 
independent of occupational exposure to cosmic radiation and circadian 
rhythm disruption. The annualized total burden is 10,525 hours.
