    Smoking and risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and multiple myeloma (1992)

    Notes: Population-based case-control interview studies of 622 White men with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 820 controls from Iowa and Minnesota (United States) and 173 White men with multiple myeloma and 452 controls from Iowa offered the opportunity to investigate the relationship of these cancers with smoking. Risks were significantly elevated for all lymphoma (odds ratio [OR]=1.4), high-grade lymphoma (OR=2.3), and unclassified lymphoma (OR=2.8) for cigarette smokers. Dose-response gradients were not seen with intensity of cigarette use, but risks for these subtypes were greatest for cigarette smokers of longest duration. Similar elevations in risks were seen for tobacco users. The risk of multiple myeloma was not significantly elevated for either tobacco users or cigarette smokers. The findings from this study confirm the lack of an association between smoking and multiple myeloma and provide some support for an association between tobacco use and certain subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

    Pesticide exposures and multiple myeloma in Iowa men (1993)
    Springer
    Cancer causes & control 4 (1993), S. 153-156 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7225
    Keywords: Case-control study ; epidemiology ; etiology ; farming ; multiple myeloma ; pesticides ; United States

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: A population-based case-control study of 173 White men with multiple myeloma (MM) and 650 controls was conducted in Iowa (United States), an area with a large farming population, to evaluate the association between MM, agricultural risk factors, and exposure to individual pesticides. A slight nonsignificantly elevated risk for MM was seen among farmers (odds ratio [OR]=1.2, 95 percent confidence interval [CI]=0.8–1.7). Although slight excesses were observed, there were no significant associations between MM and handling either classes of pesticides or specific pesticides. Thus, this study found little evidence to suggest an association between risk of MM and farming or pesticides.
