For analyses of each cancer outcome, controls comprised all other cancers in the study data set except kidney, pancreatic, testicular, and liver cancers, which have been associated with PFOA in animal or human studies. We applied logistic regression models to individual-level data to calculate adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and confidence intervals (CIs). For the combined analysis of OH and WV data, the exposure of interest was resident water district. Within OH, geocoded addresses were integrated with a PFOA exposure model to examine the relationship between cancer odds and categories of estimated PFOA serum.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Our final data set included 7,869 OH cases and 17,238 WV cases. There was a positive association between kidney cancer and the very high and high serum exposure categories [AOR = 2.0 (95% CI: 1.0, 3.9) n = 9 and 2.0 (95% CI: 1.3, 3.2) n = 22, respectively] and a null association with the other exposure categories compared with the unexposed. The largest AOR was for testicular cancer with the very high exposure category [2.8 (95% CI: 0.8, 9.2) n = 6], but there was an inverse association with the lower exposure groups, and all estimates were imprecise because of small case numbers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Our results suggest that higher PFOA serum levels may be associated with testicular, kidney, prostate, and ovarian cancers and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Strengths of this study include near-complete case ascertainment for state residents and well-characterized contrasts in predicted PFOA serum levels from six contaminated water supplies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.1205829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,9]],"date-time":"2013-01-09T13:11:58Z","timestamp":1357737118000},"page":"318-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":337,"title":["Perfluorooctanoic Acid Exposure and Cancer Outcomes in a Contaminated Community: A Geographic Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Ver\u00f3nica M.","family":"Vieira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Health, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Program in Public Health, Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Hoffman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Health, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"},{"name":"Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hyeong-Moo","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Ecology, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, California, USA"},{"name":"Department of Public Health Sciences, University of California, Davis, Davis, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janice M.","family":"Weinberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas F.","family":"Webster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Health, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tony","family":"Fletcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social and Environmental Health Research, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026080505051624900_micit1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-069X-10-88","article-title":"Perfluorinated compounds are related to breast cancer risk in Greenlandic Inuit: a case control study.","volume":"10","author":"Bonefeld-Jorgensen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Environ Health"},{"key":"2026080505051624900_micit2","unstructured":"C8 Science Panel\n          . 2012.
