Comparison of Excess Odds Ratio per Gy with Dosimetry Based on Three Different Stomach Configurations^a

First cancers
Stomach configuration used for dosimetry	Hodgkin lymphoma EOR/Gy (95% CI)	Testicular cancer EOR/Gy (95% CI)	Cervical cancer EOR/Gy (95% CI)	Combined Hodgkin lymphoma, testicular and cervical cancerb EOR/Gy (95% CI)
J-shaped	0.049 (0.007, 0.16)	0.27 (0.054, 1.44)	0.096 (−0.002, 0.39)	0.091 (0.036, 0.20)
Alternative configuration no. 1	0.045 (0.006, 0.15)	0.26 (0.062, 1.29)	0.12 (0.001, 0.54)	0.096 (0.039, 0.21)
Alternative configuration no. 2	0.049 (0.007, 0.15)	0.30 (0.064, 1.50)	0.044 (−0.002, 0.16)	0.074 (0.031, 0.15)

Note. CI = confidence interval; EOR = excess odds ratio.

^aThe J-shaped stomach configuration represents a typical shape for an adult of normal weight and no stomach pathology. Alternative stomach configuration no. (1) is located higher in the body than the J-shaped stomach and has been found more frequently in persons with massive body build and higher weight. Alternative stomach configuration no. (2) is located lower in the body and is longer than the J-shaped stomach and has been found more frequently in persons with thinner body build and lower weight (4, 5). (See Fig. 1.)

^bThe combined estimates for Hodgkin lymphoma and testicular cancer were 0.090 (95% CI: 0.032, 0.22) for the J-shaped stomach, 0.092 (95% CI: 0.034, 0.22) for alternative configuration no. (1), and 0.094 (95% CI: 0.034, 0.23) for alternative configuration no. (2).
