The odds ratios and confidence intervals for each cancer were calculated using conditional logistic regression models (matched pairs) adjusted for years of education (≤12; 13–16; >16), race (white; non-white), and quartiles of household income (<$42,000; $42,000–56,999; $57,000–71,999; ≥$72,000). Women with unknown education (3 cases with benign indication and 15 controls; 0 cases with no ovarian indication and 20 controls) were assigned to the ≤12 years group, and women with unknown income (3 cases with benign indication and 2 controls; 3 cases with no ovarian indication and 0 controls) were assigned to the $42,000–56,999 group (second quartile).

b

Includes women with unknown family history of cancer (14 cases with benign indication and 0 controls; 4 cases with no ovarian indication and 3 controls).

c

Cervical, fallopian tube, or vulvar cancer.

d

Prostate or testicular cancer.

e

Appendix, esophageal, or stomach cancer.

f

Leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma.

g

Melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer.

h

Bladder, bone, brain, oral, thyroid, or other types of cancer.
