Background: Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Programme Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans has been criticized several its evaluations, and also approach used perform these evaluations. Some critics have claimed that failures IARC Working Groups recognize study weaknesses biases Group members led inappropriate classification a number agents as carcinogenic humans.Objectives: The authors this Commentary are scientists from various disciplines relevant...
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified nickel compounds as carcinogenic to humans, but it is still not known with certainty which forms of pose the risk. In a case-control study Norwegian nickel-refinery workers, authors examined dose-related associations between lung cancer and cumulative exposure four nickel: water-soluble, sulfidic, oxidic, metallic. A job-exposure matrix was based personal measurements total in air quantification dusts aerosols. Data smoking...
Background: Human serum from biobanks is frequently used in prospective epidemiological studies. Long-term storage may modify its composition. A better understanding of the stability components improve interpretation future
Previous nested case–control studies suggest that a prediagnostic biomarker of allergy, IgE, is inversely associated with the risk glioma, but these findings are inconsistent. The purpose our study was to assess this association and determine how long before glioma diagnosis it may be observed. We conducted using serum specimens from Janus Serum Bank cohort in Norway. Blood donors who were subsequently diagnosed (n = 594 case subjects), between January 1, 1974 December 31, 2007, matched...
The aim of this work was to examine the risk lymphohaematopoietic (LH) cancer according benzene exposure among offshore workers. Cancer registry data were used identify 112 cases diagnosed during 1999–2011 in a cohort 24 917 Norwegian men reporting between 1965 and 1999. Analyses conducted stratified case–cohort design with reference subcohort 1661 Cox regression estimate hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals, adjusted for other smoking. Most workers exposed <15 years. upper range values...
AimMortality among patients with bladder cancer is usually reported to be higher for women than men, but how the risk differs and why remain largely unexplained. We also described gender-specific differences in survival estimated what extent they can explained by T-stage distribution at first diagnosis.MethodsThe present study comprised all 15,129 new cases of histologically verified invasive non-invasive urothelial carcinoma urinary diagnosed between 1997 2011 as registered Cancer Registry...
Among workers employed at a nickel refinery in Norway between 1910 and 1977 an elevated risk of lung cancer has been demonstrated. A dose-related effect from exposure identified, with the strongest gradient for water-soluble nickel. This pattern was recently confirmed nested case-control study adjustment smoking potential occupational confounders. In present study, updated data were used to explore by duration work different forms Comparisons made national male population (standardised...
Occupational exposures constitute the second leading cause of urinary bladder cancer after tobacco smoking. Increased risks have been found in petroleum industry, but high-quality exposure data are needed to explain these observations.Using a prospective case-cohort design, we analysed 189 cases (1999-2017) and 2065 randomly drawn non-cases from Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers cohort. Cases were identified Cancer Registry Norway, while work histories (1965-1998) lifestyle factors...
Kidney cancer has been a suspected occupational disease in petroleum workers. Health conditions that are linked to kidney may prompt termination or change of work, and thereby restrict exposures high-risk individuals, creating healthy worker survivor bias (HWSB). We examined associations between among males the Norwegian Offshore Petroleum Workers (NOPW) cohort using case-cohort design, with 169 incident cancers identified by linkage national registry data (1999-2021) subcohort 2090...
Objectives A previous cohort study of male Norwegian Navy submariners showed higher overall cancer incidence and lower all-cause mortality than the general population. We have extended follow-up show more precise estimates through seven decades. Design Historical using outcome data from cause-of-death registries. Setting Linkage with registries was performed by means unique national identification numbers given to all citizens. Participants 2663 military men who ever served aboard a...
Exposures in nickel refineries represent complex chemical mixtures, but only the effect of has been evaluated quantitatively epidemiologic studies workers.For a Norwegian refinery, time- and department-specific exposure estimates were developed for arsenic, sulfuric acid mists, cobalt air on basis personal measurements data raw materials process intermediates. Exposure to asbestos, as well employment high-risk occupations outside assessed. We conducted case-control study nested cohort...
Objective: To evaluate the risk of lung cancer and nasal among workers employed at Clydach nickel refinery, South Wales since 1930 by combining data from two most recently published papers on this cohort. Methods: Observed expected numbers deaths were extracted for who had a minimum five years service first time between 1902 1992. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) calculated subgroups according to year employment, process work. Results: A persisting excess respiratory was found in period...
Biobank material is frequently used in epidemiological studies, but long-term storage of serum at -25 degrees C may reduce the quality samples. Knowledge about stability components biological samples fundamental for interpretation such studies.We investigated seven stored 25 and 2 years compared with 1-month-old Specimens from 130 blood donors each group were randomly selected among men without a cancer diagnosis during follow-up time. We distribution, dispersion localization medians means,...
BackgroundOrganochlorine (OC) insecticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been shown to estrogenic, antiestrogenic, or antiandrogenic properties; as a result, the impact of exposure these compounds risk hormonal cancers, such prostate cancer, is concern.ObjectivesWe conducted nested case–control study, using prospectively collected serum, estimate associations between OC exposures metastatic cancer in population-based cohort from Norway.MethodsSera 150 cases 314 controls matched...
We prospectively examined skin cancer risk according to occupational exposure aromatic hydrocarbons with adjustment for ultraviolet radiation exposure, in a cohort of 24 917 male offshore petroleum workers.Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals were estimated Cox regression adapted stratified case-cohort design.During 13.5 years follow-up, 112 cutaneous melanomas (CMs) 70 non-melanoma cancers identified. Increased risks CM squamous cell carcinoma on the forearm hand seen among...
This study updates information on mortality and cancer morbidity in a cohort of Norwegian talc workers.Follow-up was extended with 24 years, covering 1953-2011. Comparisons were made the general population between subgroups within cohort.Standardized ratio for non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD) 0.38 (95%CI: 0.18, 0.69) diseases circulatory system (CVD) 0.98 0.82, 1.16). A non-significantly increased NMRD risk observed at high dust exposures. There no deaths from pneumoconiosis.With...
