NCT ID NCT01139476
Summary
This study aimed to understand why farmers have higher rates of certain blood cancers. Researchers collected blood and urine samples from nearly 2,000 cancer-free male farmers over age 50 to look for early warning signs. They compared these signs to the farmers' pesticide use history to see if specific exposures might increase risk.
