Purpose
The association between tobacco smoking and thyroid cancer remains uncertain. We evaluated the associations of active and passive smokingwith the risk of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most common type of thyroid cancer, and with the BRAFV600E mutation, the most common oncogenic mutation in PTC related to poor prognosis.
Materials and Methods
We conducted this study with newly diagnosed PTC patients (n=2,142) and community controls (n=21,420) individually matched to cases for age and sex. Information on active and passive smoking and potential confounders were obtained from structured questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, and medical records. BRAFV600E mutation status was assessed in PTC patients. We evaluated the associations of active and passive smoking with PTC and BRAFV600E mutation risk using conditional and unconditional logistic regression models, respectively.
Results
We did not find associations between exposure indices of active and passive smoking and PTC risk in both men and women, except for the association between current smoking and lower PTC risk. Cumulative smoking ≥ 20 pack-years was associated with lower BRAFV600E mutation risk in male PTC patients (odds ratio [OR], 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30 to 1.00). The CI for the association was wider in female PTC patients (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.02 to 2.62), possibly owing to a smaller sample size in this stratum.
Conclusion
We did not find consistent associations between active and passive smoking and PTC risk. Cumulative smoking ≥ 20 pack-years was associated with lower BRAFV600E mutation risk in male PTC patients.

AbstractAbstract PDF
In Korea chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) is a rare diesase with evidence immunologic incompetence. The immunodeficiency of patients with CLL could place them at increased risk of new cancers. The incidence of secondary malignancy, including lung cancer has increased in patients with CLL and this should be also considered in the differential diagnosis of a new pulmonary infiltrate appearing in patients with known CLL. A-73-year old male patient with CLL was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed multiple scattered small nodules in both lung fields and alveolar consolidation mass at right lower lung. Histopathological examination of the bronchoscopic biopsy specimen demonstrated that he had a moderatly differentiated adenacarcinoma of lung. Since we experienced a case of metachronous adenocarcinoma of lung in patient with known CLL, we report this with a review of literatures.
