Renal Cancer Risk and Occupational Exposure to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Plastics

Abstract

Unconditional logistic regression was used to calculate RCC risk in relation to exposure. Results indicate a possible association between occupational styrene and acrylonitrile exposure and RCC risk.

Additional studies are needed to replicate findings, as this is the first time these associations have been reported and they may be due to chance.
