Executive Summary

CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT USE LINKED TO REDUCED RENAL CELL CARCINOMA RISK in a study involving 35,192 postmenopausal women published in the January issue of Epidemiology. "Total dietary calcium (relative risks=.48 and .66 for the 2nd and 3rd tertiles) and calcium supplement use (RR=.52) were inversely associated with risk of renal cell carcinoma," Ronald Prineas et al. concluded. Prineas is with the University of Miami; the other researchers are with the University of Minnesota and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The study was funded in part by a grant from the National Cancer Institute.
