“…Both lead and, in particular, gasoline were associated with the risk of renal cell cancer, a finding in agreement with those of animal studies (27,32). A related epidemiologic finding is that of Paganini-HiII et al (20), who reported a significantly increased mortality from kidney cancer among newspaper web pressmen.…”

“…Questionnaire-based indicators of smoking (never/ever) , coffee consumption (no/medium/heavy) and obesity (five-point rating scale from lean to obese) were added to most of the models to control for possible nonoccupational confounding by these variables. Missing values (16 for smoking, 17 for obesity, and 20 for coffee) were replaced by gender-specific group means for these, and only for these, variables . Coffee consumption was treated as a potential confounder, as heavy coffee drinking may be associated with renal cell cancer (29,37,38).…”

PARTANEN T, HEIKKILA P, HERNBERG S, KAUPPINEN T, MONETA G, OJAJARVI A. Renal cell cancer and occupational exposure to chemical agents. Scand J Work En viron Health 1991; 17:231-9. A case-referent study of occupational risk indicators of renal cell adenocarcinoma was conducted. Each incident case in Finland in 1977-1978 was matched with two population referents. Lifelongjob histories were collected and translated into indicators of industry, occupation, and occupational exposures. The analyses of 338 sets of cases and referents revealed elevated risks for a history of employment in whitecollar occupations; the printing industry; the chemical industry; the manufacturing of metal products; mail, telephone, and telegraph services; and iron and metalware work. A decreased risk was observed for male farmers. An elevated risk and an exposure-response relationship were found for gasoline exposure. The excess risk was highest at a latency period of approximately 30 years. The findings support the hypothesisthat exposureto some constituent(s) of gasolineincreases the incidenceof renal adenocarcinoma in humans. Suggestions of elevated risks appeared for exposures to inorganic lead, cadmium, and nonchlorinated solvents.

“…Elevated mortality from kidney cancer was observed among newspaper pressmen (29), although this finding has not been confirmed (30). An increased risk for truck drivers (31) and for workers exposed to polychlorinated biphenyls (32) has also been observed.…”

A review of the epidemiology of renal cell cancer is presented. Risk factors for renal cell cancer such as cigarette smoking, obesity, diet, and use of analgesics and prescription diuretics are examined. Although uncommon, occupational risk factors are also reviewed. Studies examining gasoline exposure and renal cell cancer are evaluated, including investigations recently presented at a meeting on this topic. Overall, most studies find no link between gasoline exposure and renal cell cancer; moreover, the experimental evidence that initiated the health concern is no longer considered relevant to humans. Positive associations, however, reported in two recent studies prevent a firm conclusion of no risk for this exposure.
