Well water contaminants and colorectal cancer in North Dakota.
This study aims to identify common contaminants in well water linked to an increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence rates in North Dakota (ND) counties. County-specific incidence rates for CRC were obtained from the ND Statewide Cancer Registry. Corresponding demographic, agricultural, and geophysical data were obtained from population-based sources. Associations between well water contaminants and CRC incidence were examined for 16 counties in ND with complete well water profiles between 1997-2019. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression. Iron in well water exhibited a significant positive association with CRC incidence (4.75, P = 0.001), and barium exhibited a small, but significant negative association (-0.06907, P = 0.01). Residents in counties in ND with prevalent well water usage contaminated with iron may be at higher risk for CRC.
期刊介绍:
The WJCO is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJCO is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of oncology. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJCO is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJCO are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in oncology. Scope: Art of Oncology, Biology of Neoplasia, Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Cancer-Related Complications, Diagnosis in Oncology, Gastrointestinal Cancer, Genetic Testing For Cancer, Gynecologic Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Hematologic Malignancy, Lung Cancer, Melanoma, Molecular Oncology, Neurooncology, Palliative and Supportive Care, Pediatric Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Translational Oncology, and Urologic Oncology.
