From the author: Renal transplant recipients are at high risk for multiple non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC) that occur at a younger age and behave more aggressively. Consequently, the American Society of Transplantation has recommended that physicians conduct annual screenings for NMSC in this population. Few centres currently offer a dedicated surveillance programme. This article discusses' a model for skin cancer surveillance in which a trained nurse works within a validated competency programme to provide annual skin surveillance and education in the renal transplant outpatient clinic.

Description:
This case-control study examines the association between residential and occupational exposures to hazardous chemicals and the risk of Wilms' tumor. The study included 303 cases recruited from six state cancer registries, who were diagnosed between January 1, 1992 and December 31, 1995. A total of 575 controls selected through random digit dialing were frequency matched to the cases. A standard questionnaire was administered to participants during a telephone interview. Parental residential addresses and locations of US Environmental Protection Agency National Priority List (NPL) sites were geocoded and analyzed, along with occupational exposure information. There were no cases of Wilms' tumor found in individuals living within one-half mile distance of a hazardous waste site. However, elevated odds ratios were found for using hairdressing chemicals, motor oil, paint, paint stripper, and pesticides during the pregnancy term and during the 2-year period prior to birth. The findings do not support the hypothesis that Wilms' tumor is associated with residing near an NPL site. ... Read more

This is a ripoff!
I have RCC and I got this book free, Do not pay for this book!!! It can be ordered for free from the Kidney Cancer Association.

Get This Book for Free ! ! !
My last review never got posted, likely because I included a link to where to get this book for free. Also, I'll leave out any editorial comments about those who choose to sell free books to people with terrible diseases. That speaks for itself.

This book is fantastic and is a must read for anyone who has or is involved with anyone who has kidney cancer.

Finally, you can get this book free, but not from the Kidney Cancer Association, to the best of my knowledge. You get it from the Action to Cure Kidney Cancer website. Go there and the information is on the first page.
