Abstract
The records of 151 patients receiving long-term dialysis for an average of 66 months were reviewed to determine the incidence of malignancy. Nine cancers were found among 148 male patients. 8 of these 9 patients were smokers. This finding is significantly higher than expected (3.6 cases, p less than 0.0137) for exposure-specific and age-specific controls of the same sex.Entities:
