Smoking pot linked Jeremy Scott Wings Wedge Hi Shoes to testicular cancer risk
However, the work is the third study to find such a link, and the results warrant investigation into whether compounds in marijuana smoke may be carcinogenic to the testes, the researchers said. Rates of Mont Blanc Perth testicular germ cell tumors have been increasing in recent decades, as has Dr Dre Detox marijuana use, said the researchers from the University of Southern California.
They analyzed information from 163 men ages 18 to 35 who were diagnosed with testicular cancer between 1986 and 1991, and compared them with 292 healthy men matched for age and race. Participants were interviewed about their previous and current drug Monster Beats Headphones Australia use.
Those who had ever used marijuana were 2.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with types of testicular cancer called non seminoma and mixed germ cell Just Beats Headphones Australia tumors. These types of testicular cancer come with a somewhat worse prognosis than the so called seminoma tumors.
More frequent use of marijuana did not increase cancer risk. In fact, those who used marijuana less than once a week were at increased risk of developing testicular cancer, but those who used it more frequently were Louis Vuitton Belt Fake not.
It's not clear how marijuana may increase testicular cancer risk. The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, binds to cannabinoid receptors in the body, which are present in the brain as well as the gonads. THC may impair testicular health by disrupting the signals of the compounds that normally Louis Vuitton Sunglasses Sale bind to cannbinoid receptors, the researchers said.
It's possible that men who did not have testicular cancer were not as motivated to report drug use as those with cancer, which could affect the results, but the researchers said evidence has shown that such reporting bias cannot completely explain the link.
