Cadmium exposure and cancer mortality in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort: Table 1

Abstract

Cadmium appears to be associated with overall cancer mortality in men and women, but the specific cancers associated differ between men and women, suggesting avenues for future research. Limitations of the study include the possibility of uncontrolled confounding by cigarette smoking or other factors, and the limited number of deaths due to some cancers.
