Case-control study of lymphoid neoplasm in three French areas: description, alcohol and tobacco consumption.

A multi-centre hospital-based case-control study was conducted in three regions of France between 2000 and 2003 in order to establish the risk factors of lymphoid neoplasms. We report here results concerning alcohol and tobacco consumption. A total of 298 cases and 276 controls, case-matched by inclusion centre, age and sex were included.
