# PASSIVE SMOKING AS A CERVICAL CANCER RISK FACTOR

> **NIH NIH R01** · UTAH STATE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM--UNIVERSITY OF UTAH · 1987 · $82,586

## Abstract

A case-control study of passive smoking and the risk of carcinoma in situ
and invasive cancer of the uterine cervix is proposed to supplement a
currently funded National Cancer Institute grant of cervical cancer risk
factors (1 PO1 CA 34243-01 Project 4).  Case are identified from review of
slides from pathology labs and from the Utah Cancer Registry, a
population-based registry, and are urban Utah residents.  Controls are
selected through random digit dialing, a population-based sampling
technique, and are an age-stratified sample of the female urban Utah
population.  Cases and Controls will be compared for detailed cigarette
smoking history, passive smoking history, and other established risk
factors, including sexual behavior, socio-economic status, religion, etc.
The estimated sample size for this three-year study is 276 cases of
carcinoma in situ, 201 cases of invasive cancer, and 678 controls.  All
subjects will be interviewed in a standardized manner through in-home
interviews.  Blood samples will be drawn on all subjects for analysis of
serum cotinine, to validate smoking history data.  All analyses will
include control of confounding risk factors, using stratified analysis and
multivariate techniques.
