CNS Tumors
A major focus of our research on CNS tumors in the past four years has been on the possible etiologic role of N-nitroso compounds. We have continued analysis of interview data from our completed case-control study of gliomas in Los Angeles County women. A manuscript describing our findings related to dietary and other sources of N-nitroso exposures was published in 1997.
