Parental cigarette smoking and childhood risks of hepatoblastoma: OSCC data.
Reported cigarette smoking habits for the parents of 43 UK children who died with hepatoblastoma (1953-55 deaths, 1971-81 deaths) have been compared with corresponding information for the parents of 5777 healthy control children by means of unconditional logistic regression. Hepatoblastoma risks were doubled if both parents smoked relative to neither parent smoking (RR 2.28, 95% CI 1.02-5.09).
