Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS JsBDqR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The authors examined the association between white blood cell (WBC) count and the development of gastric cancer in a 19-year follow-up study of 2,558 Japanese subjects aged>40 years (1988-2007). The subjects were stratified into 4 groups according to baseline WBC quartile (=6.4 x 103 cells/muL). During follow-up, 128 subjects developed gastric cancer. The age-and sex-adjusted incidence of gastric cancer increased linearly with higher WBC level : 1.7,2.6,3.9, and 5.4 per 1,000 person-years, respectively, for the 4 quartile groups (P for trend |
