Findings from this population-based study in Los Angeles County, California, suggest that recently diagnosed tumors of the parotid gland are related to prior x-ray therapy for acne (relative risk = 2.6; 95% confidence interval = 1.07, 6.34). Responses to interviews with 408 patients with a parotid tumor were compared with responses of 408 neighborhood controls. Risk increased with an increase in the number of acne treatments, and the relative risk for 15 or more treatments was 8.0. Clinicians who are still using this form of therapy, as well as those clinicians who care for patients who received this treatment, should be aware of this additional risk associated with its use.
这项基于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县人群的研究结果表明，近期诊断出的腮腺肿瘤与先前因痤疮接受的X射线治疗有关（相对风险=2.6；95%置信区间=1.07, 6.34）。对408名腮腺肿瘤患者的访谈回复与408名社区对照的回复进行了比较。风险随着痤疮治疗次数的增加而增加，15次或更多次治疗的相对风险为8.0。仍在使用这种治疗方式的临床医生，以及照顾接受过这种治疗患者的临床医生，应该意识到这种治疗方式所带来的额外风险。
