    Abstract

    Objectives Exploratory analyses by occupation or industry are commonly conducted in case-control studies. However cancer risks limited to certain jobs within an industry, or to a job within a given industry, become undetectable in the overall industry or job odds-ratio. Using the SYNERGY dataset we conducted an analysis based on occupations and industries combined. Methods Data included 10 917 male cases and 13 154 male controls. Industries and jobs were coded according to ISIC Revision 2 and ISCO 1968, respectively. Odds-ratios were computed for ISCO-ISIC combinations with ≥10 study subjects adjusting for study, age, and smoking. To allow for multiple comparisons we applied a semi-Bayes approach, shrinking towards a group mean the estimate for each ISCO-ISIC combination previously classified as: occupation known or suspected to entail lung cancer risk, other manual workers, other non-manual workers. Results Out of 1187 evaluated ISCO-ISIC combinations, 50 had an increased odds-ratio (p
