متن کاملWhite blood cell count and risk of gastric cancer incidence in a general Japanese population: the Hisayama study.
The authors examined the association between white blood cell (WBC) count and the development of gastric cancer in a 19-year follow-up study of 2,558 Japanese subjects aged ≥40 years (1988-2007). The subjects were stratified into 4 groups according to baseline WBC quartile (≤4.4, 4.5-5.2, 5.3-6.3, or ≥6.4 × 10(3) cells/μL). During follow-up, 128 subjects developed gastric cancer. The age- and s...
