Abstract: In their 1999 study of workers exposed to
acrylamide, Marsh et al conducted an SMR
analysis, and fitted several relative risk
regression models to the data.1 In each analy
sis, they found risk of pancreatic cancer
increased by about twofold for workers in the
highest cumulative exposure group, but risk
of pancreatic cancer did not increase monot
onically with cumulative exposure in any of
their analyses. Duration of exposure was
monotonically related and mean intensity
showed a nearly monotonie relation with risk
of pancreatic cancer.
