“…In men, there was no association with blood pressure. The association of blood pressure with risk of renal cell cancer has been investigated in a number of cohort (Fraser et al, 1990;Grove et al, 1991;Coughlin et al, 1997;Heath et al, 1997;Chow et al, 2000;Choi et al, 2005;Flaherty et al, 2005;Fryzek et al, 2005;Lindgren et al, 2005;Schouten et al, 2005) and case -control (McLaughlin et al, 1995;Yuan et al, 1998;Shapiro et al, 1999) studies, using as principal exposure variable either recorded blood pressure or reported hypertension. In men, recorded blood pressure has shown a convincing exposure -response gradient related to renal cell cancer risk (Coughlin et al, 1997;Chow et al, 2000).…”

In a prospective study of 36 728 women and 35 688 men during 18 years of follow-up, compared to systolic pressure o130 mm Hg, levels of 130 -149, 150 -169 and X170 mm Hg in women were associated with relative risks of renal cell cancer of 1.7, 2.0 and 2.0, respectively (P for linear trend, 0.11). In men, there was no association with blood pressure. The association of blood pressure with risk of renal cell cancer has been investigated in a number of cohort (Fraser et al, 1990;Grove et al, 1991;Coughlin et al, 1997;Heath et al, 1997;Chow et al, 2000;Choi et al, 2005;Flaherty et al, 2005;Fryzek et al, 2005;Lindgren et al, 2005;Schouten et al, 2005) and case -control (McLaughlin et al, 1995;Yuan et al, 1998;Shapiro et al, 1999) studies, using as principal exposure variable either recorded blood pressure or reported hypertension. In men, recorded blood pressure has shown a convincing exposure -response gradient related to renal cell cancer risk (Coughlin et al, 1997;Chow et al, 2000). In women, however, only reported history of hypertension has been studied as the main exposure variable. In one cohort (Flaherty et al, 2005) and two case -control studies (Yuan et al, 1998;Shapiro et al, 1999), history of hypertension was associated with increased risk. Documenting the presence or the lack of an exposure -response gradient in women is important, and might promote a better probing of the underlying mechanism of the association.In this prospective study of 36 728 women and 35 688 men, we report on the association of blood pressure measured at baseline with renal cell cancer risk during 18 years of follow-up, together with that related to ever use of blood pressure medication. MATERIALS AND METHODSIn 1984, 85 100 individuals were invited to the Nord Trøndelag Health Study (the HUNT Study) in Norway, and 75 058 (88.2 percent) accepted the invitation, filled in a self-administered questionnaire, and attended a clinical examination (Holmen et al, 1991;Ellekjaer et al, 2000). Briefly, information included smoking status and standardised measurements of blood pressure, body height and weight. The study was approved by the Regional Committee for Ethics in medical research, and by the Norwegian Data Inspectorate.This study was restricted to participants without prevalent cancer who had complete information on blood pressure and body mass index. Blood pressure was measured using calibrated mercury manometers with standard cuff size (Holmen et al, 1991). We divided systolic pressure (in mm Hg) into the following categories: o130 (reference), 130 -149, 150 -169 and X170, and diastolic pressure (in mm Hg) into the following: o85 (reference), 85 -94, 95 -104 and X105. Information on use of antihypertensive medication was derived from the question 'do you use or have you ever used blood pressure medication?' Body mass index was calculated as weight (in kg) divided by the squared value of height (in metres), and grouped into four categories: o18.5, 18.5 -24.9, 25 -29.9 and X30. Information on smoking was categorised as never, former o...

“…There is evidence that renal carcinoma is associated with diuretic use (Grossman et al, 2001), although this is not generally accepted (Choi et al, 2005;Fryzek et al, 2005). Prenatal exposure to diuretics was associated with an increased risk of childhood brain tumours (Preston-Martin et al, 1982), which could not be confirmed by subsequent studies (Kuijten et al, 1990;McCredie et al, 1994;McKean-Cowdin et al, 2003).…”

The association between antihypertensive drugs and glioma

et al. 2006

We pursued an association between hypertension and gliomas by investigating whether antihypertensive drugs (AHD) are associated with an increased glioma risk by a population-based nested case -control study using the PHARMO database; this links dispensing records of prescription drugs to hospital discharge data on an individual basis. Pathological data were derived from the Dutch nationwide registry of histo-and cytopathology. A total of 306 glioma cases incident between 1997 and 2003 were matched to 1108 controls for year of birth, sex, geographical region and duration of follow-up. Exposure was defined as cumulative duration of AHD use and, in an alternative analysis, as cumulative dose. We estimated the magnitude of the association with conditional logistic regression analysis. Cumulative use of any AHD for more than 6 months was associated with an increased risk of glioma (OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.03 -2.04). After stratification for different groups of AHD, no significantly increased risk of glioma was found for any class of AHD. After excluding a latency period of 3 years before the date of diagnosis, no association was found. In conclusion, the use of AHD seems to be associated with an increased risk of glioma, but this is probably not causal.

“…Hypertension: Hypertension [1,2,17,31] has been reported to be a risk factor for kidney cancer in Western countries [1,2,17,24,26] as well as in East Asian countries (e.g., Japan [5,8], Taiwan [29], Korea [30]). In the JACC study, there is a positive association between hypertension and the development of kidney cancer (age-and sex-adjusted HR=4.27, 95% CI: 2.07 to 8.79) in the population of Japan [8].…”
