Study Summary
To advance understanding of environmental, behavioral and genetic causes of brain tumors in adults, DCEG investigators initiated a multicenter case-control study of malignant and benign tumors in adults in 1994. This four-year study was conducted at participating hospitals in Boston, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh. Eligible cases were individuals greater than or equal to 18 years newly diagnosed with an intracranial glioma, meningioma or acoustic neuroma and treated at one of the participating hospitals. The controls were patients admitted to neurological, neurosurgical or general surgical services at the same three hospitals for any of a variety of non-neoplastic conditions. By the end of the study, 811 brain tumor cases had been accrued. Information about a broad range of possible environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors was obtained from both cases and controls through a computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI). The family history component obtained history and age at diagnosis of cancer or benign brain tumors and selected other diseases, for all living and deceased first degree relatives. A supplemental self-administered questionnaire covered diet, vitamin supplements, alcohol consumption, and household use of electrical appliances. Blood samples were obtained as a source of DNA. Currently, data analysis is in the early stages. To increase our ability to examine both genetic and environmental components of brain tumor risk, we decided to add a family studies component to the case-control study, focusing on families of glioma cases. Initial contact with each family is made through the cases or, if a case is deceased, through the next of kin. Cases or next of kin are asked to complete a Family Health Questionnaire that updates the family medical history and provides contacting information for all adult first degree relatives and more distant relatives with cancer. Then, we contact all first degree relatives greater than or equal to age 18 years, and the ne
