The cases were compared with 1,121control subjects from a previous case-control study on MF and cancer.Exposure assessment was based on the job held longest during the decadebefore diagnosis linked to a job exposure matrix based on MF measurements.The results refer to an estimated average mean of > 0.28 μT (Q4) and> 0.40 μT (P90, part of Q4) with ≤ 0.15 μT (Q1) as reference. Forbreast cancer, the odds ratios (OR) and the 95 percent confidence intervals(CI) were 0.7 (CI = 0.3-1.9) and 0.7 (CI = 0.2-2.3), respectively. For men 60years or younger, the corresponding estimates were OR = 0.9 (CI = 0.2-4.5)and 1.5 (CI = 0.3-8.3). For testicular cancer, the ORs were 1.3 (CI =0.7-2.5) and 2.1 (CI = 1.0-4.3), and for men 40 years or younger the ORs were1.9 (CI = 0.8-4.4) and 3.9 (CI = 1.4-11.2). The results were mainlyattributable to non-seminoma, the more malignant type of testicular cancer.Our conclusion is that the results for male breast cancer, based on limitednumbers, fail to support the suggested association with MF exposure. Theresults for testicular cancer gave some support to the hypothesis of ahormonal link between MFs and cancer, and should be further explored.
