Tobacco smoking and risk of haematological malignancies in adults: a case–control study
Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted in 1216 cases to investigate the possible association between tobacco smoking and the risk of haematological malignancies. A small, but not significant, increase in malignancy was observed in smokers. Significant association was demonstrated between tobacco smoking and acute non‐lymphoblastic leukaemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes. The duration and amount smoked increased the risk; heavy smokers presented significant positive associations with overall malignancies, acute nonlymphoblastic leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, whereas light smokers did not present any significant association. These data support a causal relationship between certain haematological malignancies and tobacco smoking. Further research is needed to examine the risk according to dose–response effect, and the variation in risk according to the histological subtype of the malignancy.

“Benzene, for example, has been associated with the induction of aplastic anaemia (AA) (Smith, 1996;Velasco et al., 2001), myelodysplastic syndrome (Pasqualetti et al., 1997;Kane et al., 1999) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (Goldman, 1976;Rinsky et al., 1987;Medinsky et al., 1996;Thomas & Chelghoum, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
