OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to develop a program for predicting individual cancer risk and to validate its discrimination power between case and control groups. METHODS: The author used the five databases for searching journals about risk factors of six major cancers in Koreans: stomach, liver, colorectal, breast, uterine cervix and lung cancer. The risk models were selected from journals presenting a multivariate linear logistic regression analysis. The baseline hazards which had no risk factors were calculated, and a cancer risk assessment program was developed using relative risks based on risk factors' combination and baseline hazards. Case-control study was performed for five years to validate the program. RESULTS: The discrimination power between case and control was 0.827 in stomach cancer, 0.949 in liver cancer, 0.594 in colorectal cancer, 0.587 in breast cancer, 0.708 in uterine cervix cancer and 0.663 in lung cancer. The estimated cancer probabilities were higher in all case groups compared to the control groups. CONCLUSION: The developed program is considered to be a valid tool for estimating probabilities of cancer development in Koreans. It is expected to be useful for the assessment of individual cancer risks, the selection of screening tools and preventive options for risk reduction.

Treatment of infected nonunions of long bone is confronted with various difficult problem, e.g. eradication of infection and osseous union even in the presence of devastating infection. To solve this problem various method were proved including exerternal fixation, electrical stimulation and functional casting method with some success. Intreating these difficult infected nonunions, we adopted another program which includes through debridment of the infected and necrotic soft tissue and bone, autogenous bone graft, rigid internal fixation of fragments and ope.n drainage of the wound until union of the fracture. We treated 8 cases of infected nonunions with this method from march, 1980 to september 1983 and results are as follows: 1. Satisfactory union was obtained within average 5 months. 2. In some cases pus drainage continued even after osseous union but it was easily controlled after removal of fixation devices. 3. After bone union and removal of internal fixation devices, some kind of protective measures, e.g. crutches and braces were used for about 6 montes to prevent refracture. 4. In conclusion our method is considered to be an effctive means is treating infected nonunion of fractures.
