Materials and MethodsStudy designDetails regarding the design of our study (cases, n= 143; controls, n= 364) were described previously (6, 7). Briefly, this is a population-based case-control study conducted in the metropolitan area of Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, excluding the rural areas to avoid the potential confounding effects from pesticide exposure. The study area is∼ 657.1 km 2. There are four petrochemical industrial complexes in the study area, producing various products from upstream to downstream petrochemicals. Subjects were recruited between November 1997 and June 2003. Eligible cases included all pathologically confirmed incident primary brain tumor cases (benign and malignant: International Classification of Diseases-9 codes, 191-192, 194.3-194.4, and 225) ages 0 to 29 years and currently residing in the study area. Controls were cancer-free current residents of the study area, selected randomly from the population registry data based on the personal identification number system of the Taiwanese government. Each case was matched with three controls on age (±1 year) and sex. In-person interviews were conducted with the parents and/or subjects to collect information regarding descriptive characteristics, residential history, medical history, as well as environmental, occupational, and behavioral factors.
