Association of allergic diseases and epilepsy with risk of glioma, meningioma and acoustic neuroma: results from the INTERPHONE international case –control study
AbstractWe investigated the association of allergic diseases and epilepsy with risk of brain tumours, in Interphone, a 13-country case –control study. Data were obtained from 2693 glioma cases, 2396 meningioma cases, and 1102 acoustic neuroma cases and their 6321 controls. Conditional logistic regression models were used to estimate pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs), adjusted for educati on and time at interview. Reduced ORs were observed for glioma in relation to physician-diagnosed asthma (OR = 0.73;CI 0.58 –0.92), hay fever (OR 0.72;CI 0.61 –0.86), and eczema (OR 0.78...

A Pooled Multisite Analysis of the Effects of Atopic Medical Conditions in Glioma Risk in Different Ethnic Groups
The incidences of atopic conditions (allergies, asthma or eczema) and glioma vary by ethnicity. Atopic conditions are inversely associated with gliomas. We conducted a pooled multi-site study investigating the associations of atopic conditions with glioma in different race/ethnicity groups.
