PURPOSE: The magnitude and timing of the reported decrease in risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) attributed to smoking cessation is not well characterized. Furthermore, conclusions from previous investigations have been hampered by unstable risk estimates, broad exposure categories and/or insufficient adjustment for the inverse correlation of cessation years with lifetime smoking exposure.
