✦ Synopsis

The relation between physical activity and renal cell cancer is unclear. High occupational physical activity has been associated with a decreased risk of renal cell cancer among men-but not among women-in two previous studies, while no association has been found for leisure time physical activity. Our aim was to investigate the association between occupational and leisure time physical activity in a prospective cohort of 17,241 Swedish twins. Information on physical activity and a wide range of potential confounding factors was obtained through a mailed questionnaire. During follow-up from 1967 through 1997 we identified 102 cases of renal cell cancer. We found no evidence of an inverse association between either occupational or leisure time physical activity and risk of renal cell cancer in this prospective cohort.

Studies of the association between physical activity and breast cancer have yielded inconsistent findings. These findings may be related to a true null association or an inability to measure physical activity with enough precision to measure a protective relation. The authors reviewed and critiqued

## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activity has been shown to be increased in numerous tumors and cell lines, although to the authors' knowledge there has been no previous assessment of telomerase activity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To examine whether telomerase activity could be used as a biochemical p
