A matched case-control study of neuroblastoma investigated parental occupational risk factors. Cases diagnosed in 1970–1979 were identified through tumor registries in the Greater Philadelphia area. Controls were selected by random digit dialing and were matched to cases on race, birth date, and telephone exchange. Parents of 104 matched pairs were interviewed by telephone. In contrast to results of a previous study, no significant associations were noted for paternal employment in a job cluster of occupations in electricity, electronics, insulation, utility, and printing; in jobs with electromagnetic field exposure; or in jobs as workers in electronics. Six cases and one control, however, had a father or mother who worked in electrical or electronic products assembly.
