Résumé : | OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether cannabis smoking increases the risk of head and neck cancer. DESIGN: Case-control study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Cases of head and neck cancer 8.3 joint years) was associated with a nonsignificant increased risk of cancer (relative risk = 1.6. 95% confidence interval, 0.5-5.2) after adjustment for confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS: Cannabis use did not increase the risk of head and neck cancer: however, because of the limited power and duration of use studied, a small or longer-term effect cannot be excluded.
