Epidemiological evidence on environmental tobacco smoke and cancers other than lung or breast
2016, Regulatory Toxicology and PharmacologyCitation Excerpt :Two studies (Miller, 1990; Reynolds et al., 1987) reported RRs, of 6.4 for total cancer and 7.0 for smoking-related cancer, that are totally implausible bearing in mind the results for individual sites summarized in the earlier tables (Note that Reynolds et al., 1987 also reported a significant association and trend for ETS and total cancer.). Two further early studies (Hirayama, 1984a and Sandler et al., 1985a; Sandler et al., 1985b; Sandler et al., 1985c), criticised for weaknesses of design and analysis (Lee, 1992), reported a weaker, but significant association between ETS exposure and total cancer. McGhee et al., 2005 reported a significant association and significant positive trend, but used an unusual design that asked the person reporting a cancer death to quantify ETS exposure 10 years earlier for both the case and a living person “who was well known to the informant”.
SmokeHaz: Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses of the Effects of Smoking on Respiratory Health
2016, ChestCitation Excerpt :Similar risks of lung cancer were seen in European countries compared with studies conducted elsewhere in the world and in higher-quality studies compared with lower-quality studies. A meta-analysis to investigate the effect of levels of exposure to passive smoke was possible in four studies,48,51,52,54 which found women whose husbands smoked > 20 cigarettes per day had a 1.46-fold (46%) increased risk of lung cancer than women with nonsmoker husbands (RR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.10-1.44; four studies). Twenty-four studies59-82 assessing the effect of smoking on the risk of developing COPD were identified from a previous systematic review83 and an updated search; however, only 22 of the studies provided sufficient data to be included in the meta-analysis.
Active and passive cigarette smoking and mortality among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer
2015, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Moreover, women who have never been exposed to passive smoke may differ in many ways from those who have been exposed. Four reports [27,29–31] evaluating the relationship between passive smoke exposure and breast cancer–specific mortality reported no significant associations with a spouse who smoked, exposure in the home or workplace, or by intensity and duration; however, none evaluated passive smoke exposure at multiple time periods to estimate lifestyle exposure. We found a significant association of breast cancer–specific mortality with recent passive smoke exposure but not with average long-term exposure.
