Abbreviations: USKC, US Kidney Cancer Study; PAR, population attributable risk; CI, confidence interval.

a

Established RCC risk factors are hypertension, smoking, and obesity.

b

PARs were calculated using sample weighted unconditional logistic regression models adjusted for education, age, study center and family history of cancer.

c

Renal cancer incidence rate per 100,000 per year in the absence of exposure = [SEER incidence rate*(1-PAR%)] by race and sex. SEER incidence rates of microscopically-confirmed cases of adenocarcinoma of the kidney (renal parenchyma) among individuals ages 50-79 from 2002-2006 were: white females 24.8, white males 49.7, white overall 36.5, black females 27.2, black males 60.7, black overall 41.8 per 100,000 per year.
