Environmental exposures and lymphoma risk: a nested case-control study using the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study cohort.

ABSTRACT: Lymphoma is the second most common cancer affecting Golden Retrievers and is hypothesized to arise through a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this nested case-control study was to investigate the association between potential environmental pollutant sources and lymphoma risk among Golden Retrievers participating in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study. Forty-nine Golden Retrievers with non-cutaneous lymphoma and 98 Golden Retrievers without a history of cancer matched by age, sex and neuter status were selected from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study cohort. Geographic proximity between each dog's primary residence and nine potential sources of environmental pollution was determined. In addition, the average annual ozone and airborne fine particulate mat
