{"doi":"10.1002/cam4.70260","title":"Tattoos and Risk of Hematologic Cancer: A Population‐Based Case–Control Study in Utah","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Approximately one-third of US adults have a tattoo, and the prevalence is increasing. Tattooing can result in long-term exposure to carcinogens and inflammatory and immune responses. METHODS: We examined tattooing and risk of hematologic cancers in a population-based case-control study with 820 cases diagnosed 2019-2021 and 8200 frequency-matched controls, ages 18-79 years. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models. RESULTS: The prevalence of tattooing was 22% among Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cases, 11% among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases, 16% among myeloid neoplasm cases, and 15% among controls. Though there were no clear patterns of associations between ever receiving a tattoo and risk of HL, NHL, or myeloid neoplasms overall, in analyses restricted to ages 20-60 years, ever receiving a tattoo (OR 2.06 [95% CI 1.01, 4.20]) and receiving a tattoo 10+ years prior (OR 2.64 [95% CI 1.23, 5.68]) were associated with an aggregated group of rarer mature B-cell NHLs. We also observed elevated risks for a 10+ year latency for myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myeloid leukemia (OR 1.48 [95% CI 0.40, 5.41], and OR 1.24 [95% CI 0.45, 3.43], respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Though estimates were imprecise, we found some suggestive evidence that tattooing may be associated with an increased risk of certain hematologic cancer subtypes. With an estimated 46% prevalence of tattooing in US individuals ages 30-49, additional studies are needed to understand the degree to which these exposures may be associated with hematologic cancer risk.","journal":"Cancer Medicine","year":2024,"id":437376,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":11,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9593,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":33567,"name":"Britton Trabert","orcid":"0000-0002-1539-6090","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":126641,"name":"David Kriebel","orcid":null,"position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":383867,"name":"Morgan M.
