Screening-level analyses suggested association between kerosene exposure and stomach cancer, but result was not confirmed by in-depth analyses; screening analyses indicated that subjects with prior exposure to jet fuel (n = 43) had OR of 2.1 for colon cancer (n = 7), 2.1 for rectal cancer (n = 4), and 2.5 for kidney cancer (n = 7); in-depth analyses indicated association between jet-fuel exposure and kidney cancer (OR = 3.4) for workers exposed at substantial level (n = 6); dose-response relation observed for jet-fuel exposure and increased risk of kidney cancer
