Biologic evidence suggests that high body iron stores could promote development of cancer. Because a previous study had shown an association between prescribed iron medication and lung cancer risk in men, we examined recent iron use as tective against cancer. These possible associations have received little epidemiologic attention despite their biologic plausibility.
