Transcript of NCVHS 50th Anniversary Symposium Around the 1700s, Percival Pott in the late 1700s identified the link between scrotal cancer and occupation amongst the chimney sweeps in England. In fact, in many diseases, whether it be violence, cardiac disease and other cases, when you adjust for socioeconomic status, many of the racial differences that we are so focused on as a society go away in looking at rates of disease and illness. He noted that if you were a chimney sweep and you did not bathe on a regular basis, you were more likely to get scrotal cancer. www.ncvhs.hhs.gov /ncvhs50tr.htm   (3808 words)
